The incessant monsoon rain and subsequent floods reported across Pakistan for the past seven weeks has so far killed 478 people, the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) said on Tuesday.

Rain-related incidents have also injured 536 people and left thousands of families displaced as heavy monsoon spell has continued to batter the country since June 14, Xinhua news agency quoted NDMA statistics as saying.
