With food, clean water and shelter in desperately short supply, Pakistan faces a deteriorating humanitarian crisis following the floods. Twenty-one million people have been affected by flooding in the country; millions have been left homeless and thousands of children are now at risk of starvation. The floods that devastated Pakistan have left large numbers of people living in tent cities relying on aid and handouts. But many say they have been turned away from camps by charities overwhelmed by the needs of displaced people. They are now struggling to cope with a lack of food and disease. Doctors have warned the real catastrophe is moving much slower than the flood waters. More than 100,000 children under the age of five are at risk of dying in the next six months due to severe malnutrition.
In this video, Channel 4 News Foreign Affairs Correspondent Jonathan Miller returns to the town of Sukkur, 200 miles northeast of Karachi, to meet some of the families struggling to survive in the aftermath of the floods.
