Half a million people stranded by heavy flooding evacuated in Pakistan

Nearly half a million people have been displaced by flooding in eastern Pakistan after days of heavy rain swelled rivers, according to rescue officials, who have been carrying out a huge rescue operation as the country struggles with a monsoon season of devastation.
Three transboundary rivers that cut through Punjab, which borders India, have swollen to exceptionally high levels, affecting more than 2,300 villages.
Officials are calling it the worst flood emergency in decades.

Al Jazeera’s Kamal Hyder reports from Kasur, one of the affected areas in eastern Pakistan.
