3. Staggering numbers aren't they
Actually, there are reports of 15 million being affected. I guess the other 11 million might not be displaced but negatively affected in other ways.

Downpours hamper Pakistan flood relief for 15 million people

6. That Al Jazeera footage on the scale of the floods is incredible.

Nature just sweeping everything away. I can't imagine how overwhelming it is to try to help all those affected. Millions of people according to reports.

Thank you for the videos, Turborama ... it is frightening to see how powerful a force nature is.
