Pakistan's tent camps
Description
This tent town is home for some of the victims of Pakistan's floods.
It's been set up by a non-governmental organisation to help the most vulnerable of the millions who've lost virtually everything.
SOUNDBITE: Varyam, flood victim, saying (Sindhi):
"Our village has been totally inundated. Nothing was left. We've been completely destroyed. So we've come to this camp. We're getting everything here and slowly our plight is improving."
The monsoon rains that fell on Sindh province during a four week spell in August and September were the highest ever recorded, according to Pakistan's meteorological department.
Both the Pakistan government and international humanitarian organisations are being accused of responding too slowly to the disaster.
Some seven million people have been affected.
More than a million homes have been damaged or completely destroyed.
The inhabitants of this camp are the relatively lucky ones.
Non-governmental groups, Islamic charities and the Pakistani army are trying to provide shelter, food and medical facilities but they can only help the most vulnerable.
Millions more are still without shelter and little hope of the floods receding any time soon.
