Monsoon death toll rises
2.27, Fri Jun 29 2007
The monsoon season has brought storms and floods to much of South Asia, killing more than 500 people in Afghanistan, India and Pakistan over the past week. Hardest-hit has been Pakistan. Rescuer workers in the country are struggling to reach communities cut off by floods affecting 900,000 people. In India, tens of thousands of people are fleeing an approaching storm. A cyclone struck Pakistan's southwest Baluchistan province on Tuesday, killing about at least 230 people.
