STORYLINE:
Pakistani army rescue and relief teams on Monday continued operations in various parts of Pakistan's Sindh province as the southern region remains one of the worst-affected areas from deadly monsoon floods.
Deluges from the rising Indus river and Lake Manchar in the Sindh province were still posing a threat to Dadu, a district in the south where rescuers using boats were evacuating villagers to safer places.
On Monday, a relief team approached Ali Bux Muhari village in Dadu district, where affected families were waiting desperately for aid.
"We are without food since the last 10 days. My house is submerged in floodwater," said flood victim, Asad Khan.
Light rain is expected in flood-hit areas this week, according to the Meteorological Department.
More than 660,000 people, including women and children, are living at relief camps and in makeshift homes after floods damaged their homes across the country and forced them to move to safer places.
Pakistan, the country's military, U.N. agencies and local charities have been providing food to these flood victims.
Pakistan is grappling with food shortages after the deadly floods left the impoverished country's agriculture belt underwater, the prime minister told the Turkish president by phone, as authorities scaled up efforts to deliver food, tents and other items.
Shahbaz Sharif spoke to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan overnight to thank Turkey for dispatching food, tents and medicine by 12 military aircraft, four trains and Turkish Red Crescent trucks.
Initially, Pakistan said the floods caused $10 billion in damages, but authorities say the damages are far greater than the initial estimates.
