Red Cross in flood appeal

The British Red Cross has launched an appeal as floods bring misery to millions in Pakistan.

More than five million people have been affected as monsoon floods have brought flash flooding to areas of southern Pakistan.

The risk of diseases spreading is high as 300,000 people have fled to the temporary relief camps, but are living in overcrowded and unsanitary conditions.
