Floods in Pakistan

Pakistan is experiencing the worst flooding in its modern history. At least 1,400 have been killed and UNICEF has reported that at least 2 million people, more than one-third of whom are children, have been affected by the devastating monsoon rains. The flood has also affected the over one million Afghan refugees and Pakistanis who were already displaced.
