Per usual, the PBS Newshour with Jim Lehrer has provided, far and away, the best reportage on the flood in Pakistan. Working with Saima Mohsin of the English-language channel Dawn News, the Newshour has aired some of the most arresting stories on Pakistan’s crisis. The piece you will find below is no different.
Mohsin lays out the grave danger that children and young families face in Pakistan. This is news worth the watching. Please take some time out of your busy life and watch the video you will find below. And just to accommodate yourself to a world where babies bathe in dark water, mixed and matched with excrement, please read the transcript of the piece that you will find immediately below the video that I have embedded.
Here, again is the link that contains the transcript of the footage you have just seen. http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/weather/july-dec10/pakistan_09-06.html
