Pakistan’s president returns amid flood fury (AP)

August 10th, 2010

Flood-affected Pakistani resident Saeed Ullah sits on the rubble of his house collapsed by heavy flood in Dagona near Nowshera, Pakistan on Tuesday, Aug. 10, 2010. The U.N., relying on Pakistani figures, says the number of people affected by flooding over the past two weeks is 13.8 million — more than the combined total of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, the 2005 Kashmir earthquake and the 2010 Haiti earthquake, although the death toll in each of those disasters was much higher than the 1,500 people killed in the floods. (AP Photo/Anjum Naveed)AP - President Asif Ali Zardari returned Tuesday to flood-ravaged Pakistan, where he faced a storm of criticism for visiting Europe as his country was gripped by what his government called the nation’s worst natural disaster.
