Floods in Pakistan
2010


Since the end of July, heavy monsoon rains have been pouring in the north of Pakistan, causing considerable damages.

The Swat valley region, as well as northern cities such as Peshawar, are hit by this natural disaster. Nearly 2000 people died, and 15 millions people were forced to leave their home.

As international aid is being set up, the floods are now spreading to southern areas, threatening to rise the death toll.

Experts from the UN and NGO agree that unless there is more international help, the humanitarian situation would worsen what is already considered as the greatest natural disaster ever experienced in Pakistan.
