How could it happen? A country we
know well is facing the worst humanitarian crisis in living memory. Yet no one
seems to care. Liz Hayes has just come back from Pakistan where nearly a third of
the country has been swamped by floodwater and aid is barely trickling in.
Twenty
million people are affected - that's a bigger human toll than the Haiti
earthquake and the Boxing Day Tsunami combined.
But this
time the world isn't digging deep.
Pakistan has
been pretty much left to cope on her own. And with disease threatening, this
tragedy will only get worse.
Watch the video.
