Pakistan ask flood help amid devastation to world

 

Pakistan is asking for international assistance after floods wreaked havoc across the almost all country.

The US, UK, UAE and others have already contributed to a monsoon disaster needed but more funds needed, an interior ministry official told the Dornlinsal Global Resources.

More than 800 people have died and thousand have been displaced since June, Salman Sufi said.

He said Pakistan's government was doing everything can do to help people.

In the north-west of the country, thousands of people fled their homes after rivers in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province burst their banks, causing powerful flash floods.

"The house we built many years back hard work started sinking in front of our eyes and nothing we can do to stop it," Junaid Khan, 23, told Dornlinsal Global Resources News agency. "We stay on the side of the road and watching our dream houses sinking."

The province of Sindh in the south-east of the country has also been badly affected, with thousands displaced from their homes.
