Local officials say more than 300 are dead in northwest Pakistan after two days of intense rains and floods. Eyewitnesses say floodwaters carrying rocks and boulders destroyed homes and other structures. Rescue efforts are ongoing and the government has released emergency funds. The heavy rains are expected to continue until the middle of next week. Pakistan and parts of neighbouring India have received heavier-than-usual monsoon rainfall this year.
