Overview

Pakistan continues to be subject to considerable socio-political, economic and environmental volatility and in 2010 experienced its worst natural disaster in living memory to be followed yet again by torrential rain flooding in 2011. The 2010 flood was a crisis of an unprecedented proportion, submerging almost one-fifth of the country's total landmass. The government estimates that some 20 million people across the country were affected by the crisis, of which more than 10 million were found to be in need of immediate assistance. The recent floods added to the woes of the already fragile state of the country. Sindh and Balochistan were the ones that suffered yet again, the water killing many and affecting 5.6 million people.
