Pakistan flood death toll exceeds 500

The death toll from three days of flooding in Pakistan has exceeded 500, as heavy seasonal monsoon rains bloat rivers, submerge villages and trigger landslides. More than a million of people have been affected by the floods in the country's northwestern sector and Pakistani-administered Kashmir, a Press TV correspondent reported. The flood also left hundreds missing and at least 1 million homeless. The Northwest has been hit the hardest with the worst flooding since 1929. The flood has destroyed many bridges and shut down the highway connecting Peshawar to the capital, Islamabad. Rescue teams are trying to help thousands of flood victims as some 400,000 people remain stranded in far-flung villages.
