UNITED NATIONS, Nov. 18 (Xinhua) — More than three months since the devastating floods began in Pakistan, the catastrophe is far from over, said a UN spokesman on Friday.
Access to clean water, sanitation and hygiene remains challenging, with the flooding and standing water having led to a rise in water- and vector-borne diseases, said Farhan Haq, deputy spokesman for UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.
