Pakistan

Torential rainfalls and record-breaking floods since late July have led to disaster in Pakistan. Officials report that more than 1,500 lives have been lost, and millions of people, including at least 1 million children, have been affected. Families are in urgent need of food, water, medicine, and shelter. Conditions on the ground are expected to worsen in coming weeks, as heavy rains continue to fall.
