Dam burst death toll rises

Troops in helicopters brought badly needed relief supplies to flood-swamped villages in southwestern Pakistan, as the nationwide death toll from a week of heavy rain and snow climbed past 360.

Hungry survivors, their homes and livestock swept away when a dam burst its banks three days ago, huddled on high ground in the worst-hit province of Baluchistan, where 1,000-1,500 people were still missing.
