In pictures: Floods and fear in Pakistan

Heavy rainfall from this year's monsoons has led to floods across Pakistan, with more than 30 million people affected, and more than 1,000 people killed since June.

A massive relief operation is underway, but people across the country have been displaced, searching for dry ground as water levels rise around them.
