Germany Pakistan Floods
German Red Cross members Mario Lennartz, background, and Paul Escher check tubes of a drinking water treatment plant at the Red Cross Logistic Center at Berlin-Schoenefeld airport in Berlin, Germany, Tuesday, Aug. 24, 2010, prior to the second aid flight of the German Red Cross to Pakistan. The floods in Pakistan have affected more than 17 million people, the U.N. estimates. Most of the 1,500 deaths occurred early in the flooding, but the crisis still is growing. Local charities, the Pakistani army and international agencies are providing food, water, medicine and shelter to the displaced, but millions have received little or no help. Aid officials warn that widespread outbreaks of water-borne diseases such as cholera now pose a threat. (AP Photo/Gero Breloer)
