UN: 1 million more displaced in Pakistan floods

Hundreds of thousands of Pakistanis were fleeing a southern district Friday after the bloated Indus River crushed a levee and flooded new areas, officials said. The UN said as many as 1 million people have been displaced in the south since midweek.

The latest evacuations came after the Taliban issued a veiled threat against foreign aid workers helping out after the floods, a development that stands to complicate one of the largest relief efforts the world as ever seen. More than 8 million people are need in of emergency assistance across the country. (AP)
