In Pakistan’s Sindh Province, more than half a million people are living in relief camps. Many are getting desperate, saying the government is not dispersing critical aid, like food and water. Sindh is also home to the largest population of Hindus in Pakistan, a group that follows a caste system. Those in the lower caste are faring even worse. Scott Pham reads for our reporter in Pakistan, Gabe Mathews, who visited relief camps in Hyderabad.

And in other news from Pakistan, two more drone strikes were reported today in North Waziristan. That makes four drone strikes in the past 24 hours. According to the Pakistan news outlet, Dawn, and AFP, one of the strikes today killed six people. Residents in the area said they heard three huge explosions and later the villagers pleaded for help at the local mosques. The total number killed from the recent four strikes is 24.
