    The 2010 monsoon rains in northwest Pakistan triggered severe flooding, with rivers bursting their banks and destroying entire villages. Over 1,600 people were killed in the first week. By August 2nd, nearly 1 million people had been left homeless or displaced. In total, 20 million people were affected, with 20% of the country submerged - an area the size of England.

Over 6 million people faced life-threatening illnesses and 3 million children were living in precarious conditions without access to help.
