Pakistani Army deploy with small boat searching for survivors near Sajawal, Sindh province, southern Pakistan on Tuesday, Aug. 31, 2010. Floodwaters that have devastated Pakistan for five weeks headed to the Arabian Sea on Tuesday after swallowing two final towns, but the challenges of delivering emergency aid to 8 million people remained.

Pakistan's military rises to the fore

Palestinian Bedouins wade through floodwater which destroyed huts and agriculture in the Mughraka area, central Gaza Strip on 20 January 2010. Flooding has forced more than 100 people from their homes and farms in Gaza after heavy rains hit the area. Security services worked through the night to evacuate families from the area of Wadi Gaza, south of Gaza city. At least 12 people were injured in the flooding which destroyed scores of homes and inundated animal pens. (Photo by Ahmed Deeb/ WN)
