The flooding crisis in Pakistan continues to grow as thousands flee the historic city of Thatta in Sind (Pic) after the Indus River broke a levee and flooded new areas.

Activists from the Pakistan Fisher Folk are using their small boats to attempt to rescue stranded villagers, and take food and medical supplies to others who are cut off.

Their brave efforts stand in contrast to the US military that seem otherwise preoccupied—despite claiming that they are in the country to help ordinary people.

A US drone fired four missiles on two vehicles in the Shaidano Dand area of Kurram on Friday night.

At least six people are reported dead, but the toll is expected to rise as more villagers trapped under the rubble of a building are discovered.
