More rains hit Pakistan as aid agencies boost relief efforts
Heavy downpours worsened massive flooding in Pakistan on Sunday as aid agencies increased relief efforts to help the about 12 million people affected in much of the country.
The flooding, which started in the northwest, threatened places as far south as the port city of Karachi.
Pakistan's Meteorological Department said more heavy rains were in store in the next few days, threatening to deepen the worst natural disaster the nation has experienced in recent history. And the monsoon season is only halfway over.Parts of the Swat Valley remain inaccessible by road; helicopters provide the only way in or out for people, food, clean water and medicine. Bad weather hampered the flights Saturday.
Meanwhile, victims accused the government of lack of action. They criticized President Asif Ali Zardari, who was in England for talks with British Prime Minister David Cameron during the worst of the crisis.
"We elected him," a resident of the flooded town of Chachran Sharif said. "Where is he?"
U.S. emergency relief teams continued to arrive in Peshawar to help, the U.S. State Department said.
In all, the U.S. Agency for International Development has committed $35 million in aid to international organizations and nongovernmental organizations
