Up to 33 million people – out of Pakistan’s 220 million people – have been affected by the unprecedented, biblical floods that have hit the country – a disaster blamed on climate change that has left hundreds of thousands homeless and caused at least 10 billion dollars.

Thousands of displaced families flock to the camps that have been set up, but live in squalid conditions.

People are faced with hunger, unsanitary conditions and infectious diseases – including young children.
