A flood survivor wades through mud as he salvages belongings in Azakhel, near Nowshera, northwest Pakistan, 14 Aug 2010
The worst floods in Pakistan’s history washed out independence day celebrations Saturday, as the U.N. confirmed the waterborne disease cholera has been found in the disaster zone.
In response we have launched a new campaign H20 Pakistan, and are sending Jim Chu to the worst afflicted areas with a mobile water purification unit.
