Men walk beside a house in Shakhimardan, Uzbekistan, Friday that is surrounded by flows of muddy water. The death toll has reached 75 from the flooding that raced through the heavily populated valley this week. "The search is on for the victims. We cannot rule out that there are more bodies under water where the river is blocked," said Alisher Atabayev, deputy head of the regional authority in the Ferghana valley. Residents said the number of victims could be more than double the current toll as many had disappeared during Wednesday's flash flood in the valley.
