The flash floods, which began on Sept. 3, have put more than half a million people in peril and rendered thousands homeless in the two neighboring states. Pakistani and Indian troops have been using boats and helicopters to drop food supplies for stranded families and evacuate victims. The rains washed away houses, bridges, communication equipment and crops. Pakistani and Indian troops have evacuated more than 40,000 people to safer places, according to the statements from Indian and Pakistani armies.
