The devastating floods in Pakistan have already claimed more than 1,600 lives and affected some 17 million of Pakistan's 166 million people population. Over one million homes have been destroyed in the disaster, which began in the mountainous northwest some four weeks ago with the onset of monsoon rains. The flood has since moved slowly down the country towards the southern coast.
