Pakistani flood victims are crowding hospitals and camping out near
inundated fields as the government struggles to deliver relief supplies.
Floods
have ravaged Sindh province since early last month, killing more than
220 people and damaging or destroying around 665,000 homes.

Zadi said she carried her younger sister, Begum, on her back through
the waist-high waters after she was bitten by a snake.
Sindh saw similar scenes during last year's floods, which at their peak affected all four of the country's provinces.
While
some districts have been flooded out twice, many of the hardest-hit
towns and villages this time around were unaffected in 2010. AP
