Pakistan Floods

"Floods have devastated Pakistan. Ten years of rain fell in just one week. Over 20 million people in Pakistan have been affected so far — that’s greater than the combined total of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami; 2005 Pakistan earthquake; 2005 Hurricane Katrina; and 2010 Haiti earthquake. Nearly two million homes have been destroyed or damaged; more than a million cattle and other livestock killed; food supplies and harvests ruined; livelihoods and businesses wiped out; hundreds of bridges, roads, electricity pylons destroyed; and more than 8,000 schools damaged — with thousands more still being used as refuges for people who have lost their homes.The heart-wrenching specter of destruction being ravaged has created an unprecedented crisis. The fall out will be felt for years and the process of rehabilitation will be prolonged."
