2 weeks of monsoon rains in Pakistan have killed at least 55, including 8 children

LAHORE, Pakistan (AP) — Officials in Pakistan say the death toll from two weeks of monsoon rains rose to at least 55 on Thursday after at least 12 people, including eight children, died in weather-related incidents in Pakistan. The eastern city of Lahore had a record-breaking downpour the previous day, flooding many streets and disrupting normal life. Since Wednesday, 19 people have died in the city due to collapsing roofs and electrocution, officials said. At least eight children died when a massive landslide hit Shangla, a district in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province bordering Afghanistan. Rescuers were searching for other children believed to be buried under the mud.
