The news from Pakistan does not get any better as the floods continue their destructive path across the country.

The UN secretary general Ban Ki Moon called it a slow motion tsunami, and aid workers say it is the most complex humanitarian crisis they have ever had to deal with.

But until last week the scale of the crisis had failed to galvanise the necessary support from governments around the world.

That was not the case in Britain, where there is a large Pakistani community.

The Cabinet minister Baroness Sayeeda Warsi, whose parents were originally from Pakistan, has just returned from the country.

Speaking to Outlook's Audrey Brown Baroness Warsi said she was worried about still living in the southern province of Sindh - one of the areas now affected as the rain waters gush downstream.
