"More than four months after the worst flooding in Pakistan's history, vast stretches of land are still under water in the province of Sindh, isolating many communities. ... The world's attention has long since moved on from the Pakistani flood story, but there are still more than 1 million people who remain displaced in Sindh alone, said U.N. humanitarian affairs chief Valerie Amos last Friday after touring the flood zone. Jackie Dent, a World Food Program spokesperson, said that although isolated outlying villages are becoming 'few and far between as waters recede and access improves' more are still being found," TIME reports in an article looking at the effects of flooding and the prospects for recovery.
