One hundred people have died in floods in this region which has had more than its fair share of trouble since the botched partition of the sub-continent. Photos shared on Facebook show devastation on a par with inundations in other parts of the world which have hit the headlines. In spite of the lack of publicity, I trust that the Foreign & Commonwealth Office is working behind the scenes to offer what help the UK is able to provide.
