A man carries a child across flood waters in Digri. David Wright, Save the Children's Pakistan country director, says the situation is 'desperately serious': 'The lives of children in Sindh are at risk from both malaria and new flood waters contaminated by the sewage from several major towns. Many children in Sindh are already weak and malnourished - malaria or waterborne diseases could kill them within days' Photograph: Warrick Page/Getty Images for Unicef
