Monsoon rains and flash floods across large areas of northern Pakistan and India have killed more than 300 people, while hundreds have been injured and tens of thousands have lost homes.

Officials in Pakistan said Sunday the death toll there has reached at least 143, most of them caused when roofs of homes collapsed.  The government has sent army rescue teams in helicopters and boats to take stranded people to safer places.  Officials say around 4,000 homes across the region of Pakistan have collapsed partially or completely in the heavy rains and flash floods.

The situation is no better across the border in India＇s northern states where officials say at least 175 people have been killed.  Authorities declared a disaster alert in northern areas after heavy rain inundated towns and villages.  Omar Abdullah, chief minister for India＇s Jammu and Kashmir State, said Saturday the flood is the worst in two decades.

Weather officials say the rain will begin to subside gradually starting Sunday.
