Six million still need relief
* Anger rising
* World Bank may redirect $900 million in aid
* 500 stranded fuel tanker drivers
SUKKUR, Pakistan Aug 14 (Reuters) - United Nations aid agencies have provided assistance to hundreds of thousands of victims of Pakistan's worst floods in decades but relief operations have yet to reach an estimated six million people.
The lives of 20 million people -- nearly 12 percent of the population -- have been disrupted by one of the worst catastrophes in Pakistan's history. Six million still need food, shelter and water, the UN said in a statement.
Highlighting the scale of the disaster, Prime Minister Raza Yusuf Gilani said in an Independence Day speech the country faces challenges similar to those during the 1947 partition of the subcontinent.
Thousands of families were torn apart after the bloody partition into Hindu-dominated India and Muslim-majority Pakistan that led to the flight of at least 10 million refugees in the greatest migration in recorded human history.
The floods, triggered by torrential monsoon downpours just over two weeks ago, engulfed Pakistan's Indus river basin, killing up to 1,600 people.

At times, the earth cleanses itself, no matter what you do.
Sounds like the will of Allah to me.
They should pray to Jesus for salvation.
Time for Allah to send his messengers to help them.
What ever are they talking about? I distinctly recall Mrs. William Jefferson Blythe Clinton pledging ten dollars — that’s US$10.00 — to the relief effort. She made a point of publicizing this grand act of personal philanthropy, too.
I thought all Muslims are “entitled”?
Biting my tongue..
Kind of ironic isn’t it ? Where are those bleeding heart Taliban folks who are doing it for the people ? Oh I forgot....
Honest - just ask 0bama!
Allah fubar! The MoonGod ain’t got what it takes.
They hate our guts so let the Arabs and the Taleban help them. Not to mention that if one gets sick, they’ll probably say we poisoned them
I especially pity the women and children, many of whom are trapped in a hideous culture with no knowledge of anything else.
I do hope the flood has negatively affected the many enemies of the U.S. who are sheltered there.

Sad situation.
Let the Green Crescent and the Muzzies take care of their own. I am tired of giving a hand to people who will behead my children in a minute and considers me and my people to be less human than they are.
Is it the UN’s place to make that choice. what good are they other than to demand the US pay.
Perhaps the money for the mosque at Ground Zero could be rerouted to help their Muslim brothers.
