India drought spreads

The authorities in Pakistan and Afghanistan are appealing for international aid as a drought that has parched neighbouring India devastates their crops and livestock.
They say it is the worst drought for a century.

Officials in both countries fear that the problem will worsen this summer as little rain is forecast.

The worst affected areas have not had rain for up to eight years.
