Heavy monsoon rains have caused the worst floods in living memory in . More than 1,600 people are thought to have died, with some 20 million people badly affected.

The flooding started in the north in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, the region which was the scene of last year’s fighting and displacement, and quickly spread to other provinces.  

The damage has been immense; whole villages washed away, roads and bridges broken and impassable, massive loss to agriculture and industry. And the rain is still falling, making relief efforts very difficult. Millions are now displaced or living in contaminated water. The risk of water-borne diseases and diarrhoea, especially for the very young, is still extremely high unless people have access to clean water and healthcare.
