In Photos: Pakistan Floods 2010



For Pakistan, monsoon rains have never been so atrocious before as they are this time. Floods, landslides, waterborne diseases: all have joined forces to torment the nation with the worst disaster it ever faced. Radiating from the northwestern province Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), the flood afflicted the Western and Southern parts of the country in a while.



U.N. guesstimates that 21 million people are suffering the wrath of incessant flooding, which includes 10 million temporarily homeless people and 8 million asking for emergency food aid. The death toll has gone up to 1,760. Amid flooding, Pakistan has shown immense susceptibility to deadly diseases like cholera, malaria and the rest.
