Pakistan remains woefully unprepared for floods this year which a UN official said could affect up to 5 million people in a worse-case scenario. The 2010 Pakistan floods left some 2,000 people dead, 11 million homeless and another 7 million were affected. At its height, one-fifth of Pakistan was submerged.
