For Pakistan, it’s the worst flooding in living memory. The United Nations estimates more than 1 million people have been affected by the surging waters. On Sunday, Pakistan officials said more than 1,000 people were killed in the disaster — and that number is expected to rise, emergency workers admit they’re struggling. A BBC reporter explains.

“They’re saying they don’t have all the equipment they need to get the sheer number of people who are stranded. We’re talking about an estimated 400,000 people who have been displaced. Many of whom are stuck in areas where communication links have been cut off”
