SITUATION ANALYSIS OF THE 2010 FLOODS IN
PAKISTAN
Disaster Larger than Tsunami
I have never seen anything like the flood disaster in Pakistan,
Make no mistake, this is a global disaster.
Pakistan is facing a slow-motion tsunami. Its destructive powers will accumulate and grow with time.
Crisis Magnitude
The enormity of this crisis is hard to fathom, the rain continues to fall and the extent of the devastation is still difficult to gauge.
Our thoughts and prayers are with those who have lost loved ones, those who have been displaced from their homes and those left without food and water, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
