Pakistani Towns Evacuated; 800,000 Cut Off from Aid
---------------------------------------------------



The Pakistani government has ordered the evacuation of three towns in
southern Sindh province as surging floodwaters threaten more
devastation. The towns have a combined population of around 400,000. The
UN meanwhile is estimating some 800,000 Pakistanis are now entirely cut
off by the floods and can only be reached by air.
