Description: People displaced by the 2010 flooding in Pakistan collect clean drinking water from a tapstand in the town of Ghari Kharo, in western Sindh Province. UKaid from the British government's Department for International Development is helping the NGO Mercy Corps deliver clean water and sanitation facilities to over 160,000 people in Sindh as they return home to destroyed houses and partially flooded communities and agricultural land. In some parts of Sindh the water may take many more months to fully drain away. More than 20 million people were affected across Pakistan, making the flooding possibly the single biggest humanitarian crisis the world has ever seen.
