It has been a year since the historically devastating monsoonal rains hit Pakistan in 2010 and it looks like its de je vu all over again with most parts of the Sindh province enduring record breaking floods ever since the beginning of August. These heavy rains have not only affected those flood victims finally returning home, but have also put lives of thousands of others at high risk. What is more alarming is the fact that the current disaster has collectively brought the already exhausted resources and coping strategies closer to utter depletion.
