Residents of Pakistan's flood-ravaged Sindh province continued on Sunday to face devastation. As of Saturday, at least 1,396 people were reported to have been killed, over 12,000 injured and millions left homeless.

The waters also destroyed road and communications infrastructure.Pakistan has suffered under extremely heavy monsoon rains which started early this year — in mid-June.Experts have blamed global warming for the early start and the heavier than normal rains.

So far, U.N. agencies and several countries have sent nearly 60 planeloads of aid, and authorities say the United Arab Emirates has been one of the most generous contributors, sending 26 flights carrying aid for flood victims.
