Pakistani flood survivor Haseena Begum, at a relief camp in Multan, Pakistan, Aug. 12, cries while talking about her home which was washed away by heavy flooding. Pakistani flood survivors, already short on food and water, began the fasting month of Ramadan on Thursday, a normally festive, social time marked this year by misery and fears of an uncertain future.
Fever, stomach problems and skin diseases are spreading among Pakistani flood victims, officials said Friday, adding another dimension of danger to a crisis that could get even worse, with the U.N. warning that dams in the south may burst.
