A man displaced by the flooding rush towards an Army helicopter to receive supplies, in Badin, Sindh province, Pakistan, on Sept. 19. The number of people affected in recent floods in Pakistan rose above seven million, as authorities scrambled to provide relief goods and evacuate marooned people as United Nations called for donations of 357 million dollars to aid to some 7 million victims. The floods, brought by heavy monsoon downpours which started at the end of August, have inundated vast areas of the southern province of Sindh. The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) said in statement that 'over seven million' have been affected by the deluge, which has flooded more than 2.4 million hectares of land and damaged more than 500,000 houses.

Flood victims scramble for food rations as they battle the downwash from a Pakistan Army helicopter during relief operations on Sept. 13, 2010 in the village of Goza in Dadu district in Sindh province, Pakistan. Over six weeks after flooding began, new devastation continues across the Sindh province of Pakistan, as flood waters, still on the rise, continue to overcome new villages. The country's agricultural heartland has been devastated, with rice, corn and wheat crops destroyed by floods. Officials say as many as 22 million people have been effected during Pakistan's worst flooding in 80 years. The army and aid organisations are struggling to cope with the scope of the wide spread scale of the disaster that has killed over 1,700 people and displaced millions. The UN has described the disaster as unprecedented, with over a third of the country under water.
