Jul 31st, 2010, 9:46 am

More than 400 people have been killed and 400,000 displaced by monsoon flooding in Pakistan and Afghanistan.

Most died in north-west Pakistan, while across the border in Afghanistan at least 60 were killed.

Several rivers burst their banks, washing away villages, roads and bridges.

Officials say the floods are the worst the region has experienced in more than 80 years.
