Hundreds Die In Accidents After Storms

More than 220 people have been killed in accidents caused by heavy wind and rain in Pakistan. Storms had battered Karachi, the country's biggest city, for three hours. But Health Minister of Sindh Sardar Ahmed said a private welfare organisation had received bodies of another 185 people killed in rain-related accidents. "Now the total number of those killed because of rain is 228," he said. Flash flooding caused by thunderstorms killed 22 people - many of them children - in the country last week. (Sky News)
