The worst floods to hit Pakistan since 1929 have left roughly one million people in need of emergency assistance. The death toll in the northwestern region has climbed to 14-hundred, and rescue workers are struggling to save more than 30-thousand individuals still trapped by the raging water.

The United Nations estimates that one million people across Pakistan have been affected by the worst floods there in 81 years. Aid agencies add that more than 500,000 individuals have been affected in the country's northwest, with women and children facing the greatest risks.

Relief camps have been set up in schools and community centers by a number of organizations, but many villagers waiting in those locations say they've already exhausted their food and drinking water supplies, and have no clothes for their children.
