Bed frames used in rescue operation. Deaths from ‘monster monsoon’ pass 1000 in Pakistan
1. Volunteers in Pakistan have used bed frames to rescue people on a pulley system above raging flood waters. In Swat, northern Pakistan, several people were brought to safety by the creative helpers.
Pakistan is appealing for further international assistance as floods devastate the country, leaving people searching for higher, drier ground.
The death toll from the monsoon rains has reached 1,033 - with 119 killed in the previous 24 hours.

2. Deaths from widespread flooding in Pakistan have topped 1000 since mid-June, officials said, as the country’s climate minister called the deadly monsoon season “a serious climate catastrophe”.
Flash flooding from the heavy rains has washed away villages and crops as soldiers and rescue workers evacuated stranded residents to the safety of relief camps and provided food to thousands of displaced Pakistanis.
On Sunday Pakistan’s National Disaster Management Authority reported the death toll since the monsoon season began earlier than normal this year – in mid-June – reached 1061 people after new fatalities were reported across multiple provinces.
