Pakistan flood deaths pass 1,000 in 'climate catastrophe'

Pakistan flood deaths pass 1,000 in 'climate catastrophe'. Flash flooding from heavy monsoon rains washed away villages and crops as soldiers and rescue workers evacuated stranded residents to relief camps. Pakistan 's foreign minister said the calamitous floods gripping the country are 'a catastrophe on a scale that I have never seen' as the death toll soared above 1,000 and an area the size of Britain faced going underwater. Tens of millions of Pakistanis have been forced to flee their homes as entire villages have vanished, with dramatic footage capturing hotel collapses, helicopter rescues and narrow escapes.
