Pakistan Floods Crisis Is Far From Over, Says Oxfam

Posted on by

BBC – Six months after Pakistan’s worst monsoon floods in 80 years, Oxfam says the crisis is far from over and could even get worse. 

The UK-based agency says malnutrition levels in the south have soared, and the aid community has only “scratched the surface of human need”.

At least 170,000 people remain in relief camps and swathes of land are still under foul water in the south.

Pakistan’s government is to halt most emergency relief efforts this month.

The UN appeal for $2bn (£1.26bn) to rebuild Pakistan remains only 56% funded.
