dc.descriptionNorthwestern Pakistan experienced its worst flooding in a century in late-July and early-August 2010. Unusually heavy monsoon rains led the Indus River to inundate areas far beyond its banks affecting the densely populated Punjab and other regions. More than 1 600 people have died, 2 million are homeless, and from 15 to 20 million people are affected (UN2010). The floodwaters destroyed large parts of the infrastructure and crops in Pakistan's breadbasket.en_US
