Pakistan's flood threat 'still far from over,' official says after engineers breach Manchar Lake to drain water threatening nearby towns
This photo from the 2010 floods in Pakistan shows waters rising in villages surrounding Manchar Lake, which had swollen because of flood waters, in Dadu in Pakistan's Sindh province.
"There is nowhere to shower or go to the bathroom," said Zebunnisa Bibi, sheltering near Fazilpur, in Punjab province, where 65 tents are now home to more than 500 people who fled their inundated villages for higher land. Manchar Lake, which lies west of the Indus River and south of Dadu, varies in size according to the season and rainfall but is currently spread over as wide an area as anyone can recall.
One pregnant woman at a camp in Punjab said she was desperate for medical attention for a baby due any day now.
