Pakistan flood toll reaches 350

Pakistan's death toll from a week of heavy rain and snow topped 350, as authorities tried to haul relief supplies to flood-swamped villages in the country's southwest.

Hungry survivors huddled on high ground in the worst-hit province of Baluchistan, after homes and livestock were swept away three days ago when a dam burst. At least 1000 people were still missing.

Officials said a second, smaller dam collapse killed seven people, while scores more casualties from avalanches and landslides were reported in the northwest and the Himalayan region of Kashmir.

About 4000 troops hauled food, medicine and tents to Pasni, close to where the Shadikor Dam burst last week.
