Thousands of the people are struggling in flood-hit areas

Almost 7,000 Pakistanis are living in the middle of the main road in one of the areas worst hit by flood


Pakistan’s government says this month's flood losses cost the economy about $15bn. Flood waters reached Sindh province on Friday, and the Indus River was able to handle most of the flood. But upstream in Punjab 2.5 million people have been affected after two major rivers flooded large parts of the north. Rescue personnel say that they are facing the problems because people are not cooperating with them and some inhabitants are not willing to leave their flood-hit homes. At least 5,000 to 6,000 people from the poorest and most in danger populations are now living in the middle of the main road. 
Reported from Muzaffargarh - one of the worst hit areas.
