Pakistan floods shape an archipelago of misery (AP)

August 18th, 2010

A boy receives relief food at a camp for flood affected people on the outskirt of Sukkur, in southern Pakistan, Wednesday, Aug 18, 2010. The floodwaters that have ravaged Pakistan will not recede fully until the end of August, the country's top meteorologist said, a grim forecast for the more than 20 million people living homeless or otherwise affected by the deluge. (AP Photo/Shakil Adil)AP - The water came in the morning, quietly sweeping across the rice paddies and into the village. Within hours, it was as high as a man’s shoulder and Abdul Nabi had lost his harvest, his mud home and all 10 of his buffalo.
