ISLAMABAD (AP) The number of people suffering from the massive floods in Pakistan exceeds 13 million more than the combined total of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, the 2005 Kashmir earthquake and the 2010 Haiti earthquake, the United Nations said Monday.
The death toll in each of those three disasters was much higher than the 1,500 people killed so far in the floods that first hit Pakistan two weeks ago. But the U.N. estimates that 13.8 million people have been affected over 2 million more than the other disasters combined.
"The number of people affected by the floods is greater than the other three disasters combined," Maurizio Giuliano, spokesman for the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, told The Associated Press.
A person is considered affected by the floods if he or she will need some form of assistance to recover, either short-term humanitarian aid or longer-term reconstruction help, said Giuliano.
The total number of people affected in the three other disasters was about 11 million 5 million in the tsunami and 3 million in each of the earthquakes said Giuliano.
Pakistani Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani said Monday that the floods were a bigger crisis than the 2005 Kashmir earthquake that killed nearly 80,000 people and the army's operation against the Taliban in the Swat Valley last spring that drove more than 2 million people from their homes.

After, will the Turkish ship go to Darfur to help the millions whose lives are destroyed by fellow jihadists in Sudan?
Unlikely, since Turkey has become an ally of Sudan. Another genocide for the Turks to deny after their role in the Armenian holocaust .
for some odd reason I really don't care what happens to people in pakistan. too bad it didn't wash away their whole country
You are such a fine addition to your own country.
I think the Paki floods were a good thing, it gave the whole country a much needed bath. cmon India, you're next. Time to take all that toilet peper off your head and wash your hair for a change. Maybe change a swami diaper or two... million.

Canada's next. A good oil spill from Alaskan oil drilling by the USA will do wonders for the Canadian ecosystem.
