Pakistani Towns Face New Flooding
---------------------------------



Pakistan continues to fight devastating flooding that has ravaged a
fifth of the country. Officials in Sindh province say they’re racing
against time to bolster the river defenses of the towns of Johi and Dadu
in the face of potentially catastrophic floods. The UN meanwhile says
it’s preparing to appeal for double the $460 million in emergency aid it
requested last month. At least eight million Pakistanis are dependent on
emergency aid to survive.
