 Pak flood crisis far from over: Oxfam

 Updated at: 0731 PST,  Thursday, January 27, 2011
Pak flood crisis far from over: Oxfam ISLAMABAD: Six months after the worst monsoon floods on the sub-continent in 80 years. The agency says malnutrition levels in the south have soared and all the aid has only "scratched the surface of human need".

Oxfam says at least 170,000 people remain in relief camps and swathes of land are still under foul water in the south.

Agency head Neva Khan said Oxfam was currently helping nearly 1.9 million people, but this was 'dwarfed' by the number of people in need.

A UK’s leading news group reports the government is to halt most emergency relief efforts this month.
