At least 50 dead in Pakistan monsoon floods since end of June

Most of the deaths were in Punjab province and mainly caused by electrocution and building collapses

At least 50 people, including eight children, have been killed by floods and landslides triggered by monsoon rains that have lashed Pakistan since last month, officials have said.

The summer monsoon between June and September brings 70-80% of south Asia's annual rainfall every year. It is vital for the livelihoods of millions of farmers and food security in a region of about 2 billion people - but it also triggers landslides and floods.
