A flood victim said, "We've lost everything. We couldn't save anything. We have no shoes, even for the children. No clothes -- the children are naked. When the children cry for food, these people say it will be provided according to a time schedule. We only want shoes and clothes, nothing else."

A number of nations and humanitarian groups have started mobilizing a response to the disaster.

An aid worker of Welfare for Humanity, said, "We're providing cooked food for people. So far, we've distributed 100 large pots of cooked food. We're distributing food at homes and in the streets, in the houses which are destroyed, and where women and children are stuck. And to all those who are homeless, we're also giving them food."

Pakistani authorities have deployed 43 military helicopters, and more than 100 boats, to rescue individuals still trapped by the floods.

30-thousand government troops have been sent to the disaster areas, where they've already helped save more than 20-thousand people.
