The Pakistani army has air-dropped relief supplies to villagers stranded by floodwaters in the eastern province of Punjab.

Military and civilian rescuers have been using helicopters and boats to evacuate people since September 3rd, when monsoon rains triggered flooding.

A local resident, Mohamamd Sadaqat, had to abandon his home.

"Our houses were inundated by floodwater four days ago. When a helicopter drops food, sometimes we get it - sometimes food is wasted. The boat rescuers didn't come to us. We left our houses. Our houses are full of all our things."

The overall death toll from the flooding in Pakistan has reached 300, with more than two million affected.
