Live in Pakistan
Stuart Ramsey Reports
some places can only get food by Helicopter.

One Road they drove down
has now collapsed.

Mingora is the place
he is live at,
A foot Bridge has been set up
(one tree trunk with string along it)
to get across the fast flowing river.


He says they need UN help
as the Government can not reach all of the
stranded people.


More Rain
on the way,
will destroy some more towns sadly.

Children not able to get the medical help they need
