Protesters urge authorities to search for missing children in Pakistan

    Protesters in Pakistan are urging authorities to search for three children feared dead in Rawalpindi.

    The children were swept away during heavy rains on Friday 15 June whilst bathing in a stream.

    A road was blocked in the city by protesters who demand the government send divers to recover the bodies of the children.

    They claim rescue workers gave up the search after just two hours into the operation.
