Islamabad, Pakistan – Tanveer Aziz Kingrani was planning to spend August preparing for his term examinations at the University of Sindh.

A resident of Haji Manik Khan village, 20km (12 miles) from Dadu city in Pakistan’s southern province of Sindh, Kingrani and his family are among the 33 million people who have been forced to leave their houses due to the unprecedented rains and floods that hit the region last month.
