UN to begin mission to help victims of Pak floods

The United Nations has said that it would help victims of flooding in Pakistan's Sindh province, which has left around 200,000 people homeless.

It said that the humanitarian crisis was "still growing" after exceptionally heavy monsoon rains and highlighted that many of the affected communities are still recovering from the worst floods in the country's history just a year ago.

The international organization also said that it would begin distributing food and water to the victims in the province.

The floods, which began in August, have reportedly killed about 200 people.
