Pakistan floods: More than 450 children killed in ‘horror show’ with death toll feared to rise further

Record monsoon rains and melting glaciers in Pakistan’s northern mountains have brought floods that have affected 33 million people and killed at least 1,314 by official government figures.
More international support is needed as the relentless extreme weather continues to displace vulnerable families, campaigners said.
