Floods in Pakistan 2010
The floods in Pakistan have caused horrific damage to 25% of the country (roughly equal to the size of Italy). Homes, businesses, crops, and lives have been lost.
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon says:
"I will never forget the destruction and suffering I have witnessed today.
In the past I have witnessed many natural disasters around the world,
but nothing like this."
Effects Of The Floods In Pakistan
Not in terms of the death toll. With
1,600 people reported dead, this remains 100 times less than the 2004
Indian ocean tsunami. However,
the scale of the tragedy continues to increase, with around 14 million
people in immediate need of emergency
aid. Many of Pakistan's bridges
and roads have been destroyed.

25% of the country (roughly equal to the size of Italy). Homes, businesses, crops, and lives have been lost.
