It all began in July 2010 following heavy monsoon rains in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Sindh, Punjab and Baluchistan regions of Pakistan. The estimations indicated that over two thousand people have died and over a million homes have been destroyed. The United Nations estimates that more than twenty million people are injured or homeless as a result of the flooding exceeding the combined total of individuals affected by the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, the 2005 Kashmir earthquake and the 2010 Haiti earthquake.
