Floods are sweeping through Asia, with Pakistan, Afghanistan and China the worst affected countries.

The monsoon floods have killed more than 900 people with 800 confirmed dead in Pakistan.

The deluge, which has turned northern Pakistan into a lake, has also killed others in mountainous areas across the border in Afghanistan.

The devastating floods in the northeast of China have destroyed 25,000 homes, leaving many people missing.

Pakistan authorities have called the floods "the worst in living memory," after they destroyed homes and large swathes of farmland in northwest Pakistan and Pakistani Kashmir.

The main highway to China has reportedly been completely cut by the water.

Peshawar, the main city in the northwest, and the districts of Swat and Shangla have also been cut off from the rest of country.

A million people had been affected by the Pakistan flooding, many of them still in danger from the rising waters.

While some have been able to wade to safety, others have been spotted clinging to walls and rooftops.

The European Commission has pledged $39-million in humanitarian aid to help those hit by flooding.

In Afghanistan, whole areas have been cut off.

The Afghanistan National Disaster Management Authority has said it is concerned roads have been cut off by the rising waters, making it difficult to get to the affected people.

Most of those caught in the Afghanistan floods are in northeast Kapisa province.

Food and medical aid is now being distributed in the area by Afghan and NATO coalition helicopters.

Authorities in northeastern China have predicted more heavy rain for central and eastern parts of the hard-hit Jilin province.

364,000 people have been evacuated from areas where water, electricity and telecommunication services are cut.

With transport services hit by the flood-waters, trains and buses have been forbidden from moving out of their stations.

Xinhua news agency has reported that more than 115,000 buildings were damaged or destroyed in the floods.
