Disaster management officials in Pakistan are warning that flood water levels are expected to rise dangerously today along parts of the already swollen Indus river in Punjab and Sindh provinces. A spokesman said this could mean further devastation and more people being added to the estimated 14 million Pakistanis affected by the unprecedented flooding. Doctors say they are increasingly worried about disease. Officials in relief camps say the main problems facing survivors include gastroenteritis, diarrhoeal disease, skin infections, and increasing cases of malaria from stagnant water.
