Shahdadkot, Pakistan (CNN) -- For almost a million Pakistanis, the misery
of epic flooding covering one-fifth of the country has now taken the form
of communicable illnesses.
Cases of acute diarrhea have topped 204,000, the World Health Organization
announced Sunday. The number of skin diseases -- such as scabies -- has
topped 263,300.
More than 204,600 Pakistanis have reported acute respiratory infections as
filthy waters surround homeless flood victims, WHO said.
Thousands have cases of suspected malaria.
"Strong water and sanitation interventions, such as providing clean
drinking water supply and addressing environmental hazards, are urgently
needed to prevent outbreaks of waterborne diseases in" Charsadda, Nowshera
and Peshawar, WHO said.
Meanwhile, the half-million residents of Shahdadkot frantically tried to
flee their homes over the weekend as a wall of water threatened to burst
mud berms and drown the entire city in Pakistan's Sindh province.
Three weeks into the worst natural disaster in Pakistan's history, people
were still desperate to escape as a second wave of monsoon floodwaters
surged southward. More than 1,500 people have died and 20 million lives
have been disrupted.
Residents climbed onto heaps of belongings piled high in the beds of
rickety trucks, packed buses, auto-rickshaws and carts to get out of town
before the water came. Many did not know where they were going -- just
that they had to reach dryer ground.
But there weren't enough vehicles for a mass evacuation.
