Emergency relief to Pakistan is “trickling in” and must increase to help up to 20 million people uprooted by the country’s worst-ever floods, an aid agency said.
Almost three weeks of flooding from the northwest to the southern province of Sindh has killed 1,600 people, displaced millions more, and destroyed homes, farms and bridges. Relief groups are coping with an area of 160,000 square kilometers (62,000 square miles), almost the size of Uruguay.
