Credit: Reuters/Faisal Mahmood By Michael Georgy ISLAMABAD | Tue Aug 3, 2010 3:26am EDT ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - The worst floods in memory in Pakistan have affected more than 3 million people so far and claimed the lives of more than 1,400 people, a spokesman for the U.N. Children's Fund said on Tuesday. The catastrophe, which started almost a week ago, is likely to deepen as more rains are expected and conditions are ripe for the outbreak of diseases. It has also called into question once again President Asif Ali Zardari's effectiveness and commitment to stabilizing U.S. ally Pakistan. Zardari is already juggling many risky issues, from a Taliban insurgency to chronic power cuts in the nuclear-armed nation. Pakistani authorities are struggling to help victims of the flooding, many of whom have lost their homes and livelihood and say they had not received any official warnings that raging waters were heading their way. Anger is spreading in towns such as Charssada. A Reuters reporter saw people attacking trucks distributing relief items. Police then charged at them with batons. Bistma Bibi, 65, who lost two grandsons in the floods, accused government relief workers of only looking out for friends or relatives. "I came here at 5 o'clock in the morning. I did my best. I begged and fought but got nothing. They're giving them (supplies) to their people," she said. UNICEF spokesman Abdul Sami Malik said 1.3 million people were severely affected by the floods in the northwest. Aid agencies and Pakistani government officials will meet on Tuesday to determine whether to make an urgent international appeal for help, he said. Islamist charities, some with suspected ties to militants, have stepped in to provide aid, piling pressure on the government to show it can take control of the crisis. Islamist groups played a key role in the relief effort following a 2005 earthquake in Kashmir that killed 75,000 people. TRYING TIMES FOR GOVERNMENT Pakistan's government faces militants who have proven resilient, carrying out suicide bombings despite a series of offensives the army said had weakened them. Authorities forecast more of the heavy monsoon rains that have been lashing the area for the past week. Pakistan's National Disaster Management Authority said more than 29,500 houses were damaged and a key trade highway to China was blocked by flooding. Zardari is currently in Europe on a state visit, a trip that has angered both ordinary Pakistanis and political parties, some of which are trying to organize protests over his departure during this trying period. His administration has faced cascading crises over the last few weeks, from the worst ever domestic plane crash on the edge of the capital to leaked reports on Islamabad's alleged support for militants battling U.S. troops in Afghanistan, to diplomatic rows with Britain. Stability in Pakistan is vital to U.S. interests in the region. Washington believes Islamabad can help weaken the Taliban insurgency raging in Afghanistan by cracking down on Afghan militants who cross over the border to attack U.S. troops. Pakistan's civilian governments have long been perceived as riddled by corruption and largely ineffective, leaving the powerful military to step in during troubled times. Waters have receded in some flooded areas. But UNICEF's Malik expressed concern that waters were spreading from the worst hit province of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa to Pakistan's Punjab heartland, the major food-producing province, as well as the Sindh region. "What we have heard from Punjab is that 50,000 people have already been displaced and 200,000 people are being evacuated from Sindh," he said. "In case of further rain, they expect that out of 23 districts in Sindh, 19 will be affected." Officials said it was too early to estimate the damage the floods had caused to the economy.
