90 killed in Pakistan flooding

At least 90 people have been killed since yesterday due to floods caused by monsoon rains in northwest Pakistan.



Officials say many of the victims died when flood waters swept away hundreds of mud houses in parts of Swat Valley and the districts of Shangla and Tank.



The floods have also washed away thousands of acres of crops and dozens of government buildings, local businesses and schools.



Officials say flood waters have cut off some of the hardest-hit areas, blocking residents from moving to safety.
