People flee flooded areas in the Muhammad Pur Ghota area of Punjab province, Pakistan, yesterday. According to local officials, the death toll from floods in Pakistan has risen to 69, as rescuers continue to struggle to reach nearly 300,000 people stranded without food and potable water for two weeks in a northern town. Floods also inundated hundreds of villages in the eastern region, forcing tens of thousands to leave their homes for safety.
