Landslides have inundated two villages in northern Pakistan, as heavy rain continues to hamper efforts to help millions affected by flooding. Officials said 28 bodies had been recovered and 25 more people were missing after the landslides. Pakistani media reported dozens more flood-related deaths as officials admitted they were struggling to cope. At least 1,600 people have died in the nation's worst deluge in 80 years. Some 14 million people have been affected. The landslides hit two villages in Gilgit-Baltistan province on Saturday, and officials are still trying to recover bodies from under the mud. In another flood-related incident, at least 14 people were killed when a lorry carrying people across a river in Lower Dir province was swept away, according to local media.
