Pakistan PM drops relief over flood-ravaged area

Pakistani Prime Minister on Saturday delivered relief supplies to those affected in the flood-hit Sindh province. Sharif was seen dropping relief packages from a helicopter to people below. Earlier on Saturday, the PM surveyed and had inspected the damage around the province and met with displaced people at a relief camp.

Flash floods triggered by heavy monsoon rains across much of Pakistan have killed nearly 1,000 people and injured and displaced thousands more since mid-June, officials said Saturday. The United Nations on Thursday said it has allocated $3 million for U.N. aid agencies and their partners in Pakistan to respond to the floods.
