Since catastrophic monsoon rains submerged wide swaths of the country in flood waters, thousands of Pakistani families have been forced to flee, and more than 1,500 people have died. Experts say the situation for communities in flood-affected areas is getting worse by the day, particularly for women and girls like Mai and Zarbano, featured here. CARE officials are concerned the continuing damage will spur an outbreak of waterborne diseases, including diarrhea and cholera, which will make the already dire situation even worse.
