$CHOKE GHODAR, PAKISTAN-AUG 27: Flood victims make their way along on a major flooded road as the water level goes down in the Punjab region allowing some to head home August 27, 2010 in Choke Ghodar, Pakistan.

The relief effort had improved in Sindh province but is still being hampered by logistical problems, including the ability to reach many of the victims. The U.N has described the disaster as unprecedented with over a third of the country under water. It has now received more than half of the $460 million appeal it issued last week to pay for humanitarian operations over the next three months.
