U.S. choppers start Pakistan flood relief missions
In Pakistan's flood ravaged northwest U S Army helicopters flew relief missions airlifting hundreds of stranded people from a ruined tourist town and delivering emergency aid. In the south authorities began evacuating about half a million as monsoon rains threaten new destruction. The floods have killed an estimated 1500 people over the past week, mostly in the northwest, affecting about 4.2 million Pakistanis including eastern Punjab.
