On a sweltering afternoon in Head Muhammad Wala, a riverside village near the Pakistani city of Multan, Rubina Nawaz is nursing a sick child in a temporary home of damp blankets and plastic sheeting.
Her two-room house disappeared under flood waters in September when the Chenab River burst its banks in the torrential rains that have been deluging parts of Pakistan since late June. More than 6 million people have been affected, with nearly 1,000 killed, including 250 children, according to the UN. Nearly 2.5 million people have been displaced.
