"The situation is one of the most difficult we have ever faced," said Mengesha Kebede, UNHCR representative in Pakistan. "We are smack in the middle of a catastrophe, people in need are everywhere, some routes are blocked, and even when we deliver tents some people may lack dry land where they can be erected."

Harsh rains and torrential floods have affected at least 12 million people in Pakistan, including many children. Urgent help is needed.
