Pakistan Flood Rivers in high flood as India releases more water
Pakistan
is still recovering from the massive flood it suffered from July to
September of 2010. The waters stretched the distance from St. Louis to
New Orleans, and the disaster affected 20.4 million people: more than
the combined number of people affected by the 2004 tsunami, Hurricane
Katrina, the 2005 Pakistan earthquake, and the 2010 Haiti earthquake.
