Rescue teams in northern Pakistan are battling to reach tens of thousands of people cut off by monsoon flooding. While water is receding in some areas, many communities remain cut off by the region's worst flooding for 80 years. Unicef said 3m people had been affected and more than 1,400 had been killed. The government said some 27,000 people remained trapped and awaiting help. Renewed rain on Tuesday slowed the relief effort, with criticism rising of the pace of the government response. In the Swat Valley, where thousands are still rebuilding after a major military operation against the Taliban during 2009, the flooding has brought down bridges and left communities cut off. "The civil administration is totally zero in helping," one medical student, Abdullah, told the BBC. "There [are] no aid agencies here at the moment - I haven't seen anyone, because more than 25 bridges have been swept away. These are the metal bridges for carrying transport." The Malakand region, which includes Swat, is among the worst-affected areas. Villages in Malakand have suffered heavy casualties, with roads and bridges washed away. Adnan Khan, a spokesman for the disaster management authority in the worst-affected province, Khyber-Pakhtoonkhwa, told Reuters news agency that logistics were now an immense challenge. "The entire infrastructure we built in the last 50 years has been destroyed," he said. The BBC's Lyse Doucet, in Islamabad, says the flooding would be a challenge in any country, but is a growing crisis for a country like Pakistan, already suffering economic woes and a Taliban insurgency.
