Approximately 33 million people would  have been affected and more than 1500 people would have been killed by the recent floods  in Pakistan which submerged large parts of the country. The Reuters reported that in Pakistan number of people displaced are hundreds of thousands of people. They  are living in open  and it will take two to six months for flood waters to recede.
