Rescue team battles to reach people in Pakistan flooding

Rescue teams in northern Pakistan are still battling to reach tens of thousands of people cut off by monsoon flooding.



While water is receding in some areas, many communities remain cut off by the region's worst flooding for 80 years.



The United Nations says 3 million people have been affected and more than 1,400 have been killed.



The Pakistani government says some 27,000 people remain trapped and are awaiting help.



Meanwhile, renewed rain earlier today slowed the relief effort even as many criticise the pace of the government response.
