HELP - Donate to QRC for Flood Victims in Pakistan
A new wave of floods in Pakistan making its way south into Sindh province along the Indus river, adding to the flooding disaster that has ravaged the country for more than two weeks. Low-lying parts of Sukkur, Larkana and Hyderabad are likely to experience further flooding as well.
Around one-fifth of Pakistan is currently underwater. The official death toll from the disaster has risen to 1,463. The United Nations warned that up to 3.5 million children are at risk of contracting water-borne disease. U.N.
