Floods inundate large Pakistan town

Floodwaters inundated a large town in southern Pakistan on Sunday as authorities struggled to build new levees with clay and stone to prevent one of the area's biggest cities from suffering the same fate.

Almost all of Sujawal's 250,000 residents fled the town before the water rushed in, but the damage to homes, clinics and schools added to the widespread devastation the floods have caused across Pakistan, said Hadi Baksh, a disaster management official in southern Sindh province. (AP)
