"According to new estimates following the most recent flooding in Sindh... at least 10 million people are currently without shelter,'' said Maurizio Giuliano, spokesman in Pakistan for the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.

"And this does not include those who already received emergency shelter supplies and those housed in schools,'' Giuliano told AFP.
