As Pakistanis Flee Flood Zone, Officials Decry Lack of International Aid

Hundreds of thousands of people fled an ever-expanding flood zone Tuesday
as Pakistan's leaders called for a greater international response to what
they say is the worst natural disaster in the country's history.
With rains continuing to fall and rivers surging, authorities were closely
watching several key dams that are at or near capacity. The Sukkur dam in
the southern province of Sindh was considered especially vulnerable; any
breach could unleash a torrent of water that would wipe out entire towns
and villages.
With the floods bearing down, people were on the move, traveling by car,
donkey and on foot to escape the danger zone. The evacuations included
areas of Hyderabad, a city of 1.6 million people that is directly in the
flood's path.
Although the flooding was concentrated in northwestern Pakistan when it
began two weeks ago, it has spread southward in recent days to inundate
areas of Sindh and southern portions of Punjab.
Those regions are heavily agricultural, and the destruction of millions of
acres of crops could lead to a food shortage, development officials say.
The power shortages that plague the country could also worsen after a
major natural gas field was submerged in floodwaters Tuesday. As the
impact from the flooding spreads to nearly every corner of Pakistan, there
is concern here that the disaster could ultimately lead to civil unrest.
Already, 14 million people have been affected by the flooding, and the
Pakistani government has conceded that it does not have the resources to
tackle the crisis. But officials say they have been disappointed by the
relatively small amounts of international assistance that have been
offered.
