A News and Images desk July 30: Hundreds of people are feared dead and thousands more are stranded after monsoon rains caused widespread flooding in Pakistan. Rivers burst their banks and streets were washed away in the northwest of the country on Thursday. In Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province in the northwest, storms and flash floods reportedly killed almost 80 people, with the Swat Valley area being worst hit. Most of the dead across the northwest were killed after houses collapsed on them or drowned in overflowing streams, the provincial planning minister said.
