Sun Oct 24, 2010 6:29AM More than 7 millions are still without shelter in Pakistan as water-borne diseases and nutrition are still a grave concern for millions of the country’s flood victims after the July-August flooding, a Press TV correspondent said in a report on Sunday. This is while the United Nations has launched several appeals to fund aid efforts aimed at helping the victims of the worst natural disaster in Pakistan’s history. According to the report, millions of Pakistani flood victims are leading miserable lives in several districts in southern Sindh Province. Some 2,000 people have lost their lives and 21 million others have been affected by the weeks-long floods that engulfed large regions of the South Asian country. Winter, cold and hunger are also threats looming over millions of people still without basic necessities.
