Some 200,000 people have been evacuated as floods devastate parts of Pakistan's Punjab province.
Rescuers carried residents to safety in boats after disaster authorities warned of exceptionally high floods along the Ravi, Sutlej and Chenab rivers. Several districts called in the army to help.
It comes after Pakistani officials said India had warned it would release water from major dams upstream, acknowledging this would flood parts of what is Pakistan's most populous province.
Both countries have suffered intense rainfall in recent weeks, with monsoon rains killing more than 800 people in Pakistan since June.
The country's National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) has warned people in affected areas to stay away from rivers, drains and low-lying zones.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said the federal government would fully cooperate with regional authorities to avert the risk of flooding, particularly in the urban areas of Gujarat, Sialkot, and Lahore – Pakistan's second-most populous city.
Sialkot has seen more rainfall in 24 hours than the highest record in the past 49 years, according to Pakistan's chief meteorologists. This has left cars, homes and buildings submerged.
Rescuers have been going door-to-door in villages, relocating residents and their livestock by boat. These boats have saved more than 32,000 people who were trapped by floodwater, the Reuters news agency reports, citing local officials.
The BBC traveled alongside rescuers as they evacuated hundreds of people from one village in Kasur district, on the border with India.
Many residents refuse to evacuate, opting to protect their property and belongings despite the risks involved.
