The disaster, noted UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on September 19 at a high-level ministerial meeting, is one of the “biggest, most complex natural disasters we have faced in the history of the United Nations” (http://www.un.org/apps/news/story.asp?NewsID=35990&Cr=pakistan&Cr1). So far, the flooding has affected some 20 million people and 20% of Pakistan's land.
