UN chief arrives in Pakistan as crisis worsens

None

UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon arrived in flood-ravaged Pakistan on Sunday to boost relief efforts as the 20 million people made homeless grew increasingly desperate.

 

Survivors fought over food being handed out from a relief vehicle close to the town of Sindh, ripping at each other's clothes, and causing such chaos that the distribution had to be abandoned, according to an Associated Press reporter at the scene. (AP)
