Save The Children - help Pakistan The colossal disaster is getting worse - PLEASE DONATE to Non-Governemental and non-extremist organisations

Devastation in Pakistan. Children need immediate help. The people of Pakistan are now facing the largest humanitarian crisis in their history as worsening floods are affecting even more people than the Boxing Day Tsunami and Haiti earthquake combined. More than 20 million Pakistanis – (more than the population of the Netherlands) -- have been affected by the monsoon floods that began a month ago. Nearly 8.6 million children have now been affected (that's more than the entire population of London.) With the escalating scale of this disaster the funding needs have now trebled. Despite the work already done on the ground large numbers of children have not yet been reached. We must do everything we can to help these children who so desparately need our help. More than 3,5 million children are at high risk of deadly water-borne diseases, making them the most vulnerable victims of one of the worst natural disasters in history. Rates of diarrheal diseases in children continue to increase at an alarming rate, mosquito-borne malaria is going to be another major challenge in the days ahead They urgently need to scale up the distribution of water. If not, because of lack of funding, water- borne diseases such as cholera, diarrhoea and dysentery will spread and begin killing affected populations, especially children, already weak and vulnerable to disease and malnutrition. Acute respiratory infections, skin diseases and malnutrition rates are already dangerously high in many flood-affected regions of Pakistan. Please donate now and help save the lives of children in Pakistan.

A torrent of water threatening to deluge a city in flood-hit Pakistan has begun to recede, officials said, as emergency workers plugged a breach in defences against the swollen Indus river. Pakistani troops and workers were on a "war footing" over the weekend battling to save the southern city of Thatta after most of the 300,000-strong population fled the advancing waters.

The death toll from Pakistan's floods, which have officially claimed 1,600 lives, will rise as waters recede and the number of missing are counted, Pakistan's disaster agency said. The country's worst ever natural disaster has affected more than 17 million Pakistanis, with more than eight million in urgent need of aid as rescue operations continue to evacuate sections of the south still under threat.

These are the people who have been effected by the Floods in Pakistan. Living in makeshift tents housed next to mosquito infested water, they need all the aid that they can get. This picture was taken in the province of Sindh, nearby Sukkur. Photography by Alizeh Imtiaz.

World Vision says assessments conducted over the last few days near the towns of Muzaffar Garh and Kot Addo in Punjab paint a bleak picture of the impact of the flooding. The Christian humanitarian organization says its reports from Sukkur in the Sindh Province are equally dire. Contaminated water, cramped living conditions and a lack of sanitation are contributing to a rapid increase in cases of diarrhea and skin diseases in children.
