    In July 2010, Pakistan experienced its worst flood since 1929, with over 17 million people displaced from their homes and many left without access to food. The flood caused total losses estimated at $43 billion, but relief efforts were slowed because news of the massive flood did not spread quickly enough. Pakistan is expected to face food shortages in 2011 as well, as some flooded areas remain underwater, delaying the harvest season.

    Flood in Pakistan
    In July 2010, Pakistan survived a severe flood. This flood has been the harshest
    since 1929. Within one month, the flood caused seventeen million people to leave their
    homes, and left million with no food. Total losses reached $43 billion, and the necssary
    aid has not been received, because the news about the flood did not spread quickly. In
    2011 Pakistan will be short in food, because some areas are still covered in water which
    will delay the harvest season/farming.
