HIGHLIGHTS The number of destroyed houses doubled since last week to over 436,000, with Sindh, Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provinces most affected. Eight more districts declared ‘calamity hit’ by the Government of Pakistan, bringing the total to 80 districts in five provinces. Some 1,600 km of roads damaged or destroyed in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa within the last week. High flood risks remain along parts of the Indus River, notably between Taunsa in Punjab and Kotri in Sindh. Humanitarian appeal for US$160.3 million to aid and protect 5.2 million flood affected people launched on 30 August, drawing good response from donors.
