Death toll in Pakistan floods rises to 80
The death toll from heavy rains that caused flash floods and collapsed houses in Pakistan has risen to 80 over the past four days, a senior disaster management official said.
The deaths reported by Brigadier Kamran Zia spanned the entire country. He said 12 were in the north west’s semi-autonomous tribal region, 10 in neighbouring Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, and three in the Pakistan-held part of the disputed Kashmir region.
