Finally,Pak flood heads toward sea

The last two towns in the path of the floods were hit late Monday,said disaster management official Hadi Bakhsh. The floodwaters hit Khahre Jamali and Jati towns last night,and now there is no other village or town in the way of the deluge, he said,adding that people had already fled the towns,parts of which were under 10 feet of water. The floodwaters are now heading to the Arabian Sea, he said.

Authorities have struggled to feed,house and arrange medical care for the survivors of the floods. The UN warned that additional funding for emergency food was urgently needed to ensure supplies into next month. Authorities have also struggled to cope with a growing number of cases of severe diarrhea and malaria caused by dirty water that offers a perfect breeding ground for insects and disease.
