Pakistani authorities have warned the country's flood disaster could get worse over the coming week with more rain forecast. It comes as victims struggle to survive. Many have no food, clean drinking water or shelter.

 

Only the tips of trees and small pockets of dry land can be seen amongst the muddied water.

Flood victims cling to makeshift islands, loaded with recovered possessions and livestock.

Donkeys have been assigned the tough mission of carrying relief to stranded people.

Pakistani army helicopters have been conducting food and water drops to some of the stranded flood victims.

But, it's not just the threat of starving or dehydrating that's worrying survivors. Hundreds of people in Peshawar are reportedly suffering from diarrhea and vomiting.
