Pakistan's cricketers donate bonuses to floods relief
akistan's top cricketers have dug into their pockets to help the flood relief effort in the country.
Players and officials on the national team agreed to donate bonuses totalling $54,400 (£35,000; 4.6m rupees).
They pledged half their bonuses after beating England in the third Test last week, the Pakistan Cricket Board said.
The rare good news came as an earthquake in the Hindu Kush mountains rocked parts of the country, although there were no reports of casualties.
Tuesday's 5.2 magnitude tremor shook the Swat Valley and regions close to Hindu Kush, Zahid Rafi, director of the seismic centre at Pakistan's meteorological department, told the AFP news agency.
As flood waters were predicted to rise further in some areas, Pakistan's leaders held high-level talks aimed at preventing a mass health crisis.
Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani said the government was "seriously concerned" about the potential spread of epidemic diseases in the flood-hit country.
New flooding fears
Doctors in many areas are reportedly struggling to cope with the spread of diseases such as diarrhoea and cholera.
The UN says more than 17 million people have been affected by the floods, with about 1.2 million homes destroyed.

Economic fears
The task of coping with disease will be made more difficult by the sheer numbers of people cut off by the floods.
An estimated 800,000 people are stranded, the UN said - many in the mountainous north west, where roads and bridges have been swept away.
The United States has deployed at least 18 helicopters to fly regular relief missions, but the UN said it would need at least 40 more heavy-duty aircraft working at full capacity to reach those who have been cut off.
There are fears of further flooding as the Indus river at Hyderabad, already at a 50-year high, is expected to rise even more.
Mr Gilani told the meeting of senior doctors, health ministry officials, UN representatives and members of non-governmental organisations that Pakistan was experiencing "the worst natural calamity of its history".
"As human misery continues to mount, we are seriously concerned with spread of epidemic diseases," he said.
"There is likelihood of water-borne diseases such as cholera, diarrhoea and dysentery, especially in children who are already weak and vulnerable."

There is a growing need for a fast and effective response to the potential health crisis here. Millions of people, directly affected by the floods, are now at risk. Children and the elderly are a particular concern.
The prime minister's office said that the special emergency section of the ministry of health would take a leading role - coordinating all relief efforts.
The government is facing a lot of criticism for its handling of this crisis - and the PM's move could be seen as a response. He is seizing the initiative and taking a leading role.
There is no doubt that the need will be huge. About a third of the country's female health workers have themselves been displaced by the floods - and the government estimates that in the next six months, about half a million women in the affected areas will give birth.

Aid camps 'overwhelmed'
Pakistan's national health co-ordinator said the immediate health situation in the flood zone was under control but the threat had not passed.
"Health problems usually arise in flood-affected areas after four to six weeks, and we need to be alert and prepared to tackle the situation," Dr Jahanzeb Orakza said.
Residents of Muzaffargarh in the Punjab region told the BBC's Asian Network they were struggling to cope.
"Those whose homes have survived are getting the food they need. The people who lost their homes, they're not getting anything," said 11-year-old Mansur Rizman.
"They need to give to the people whose homes have been destroyed."
'Lasting impact'
The World Food Programme says it already has enough food in Pakistan to feed six million people for a month but distribution has been hampered by a lack of resources and the country's shattered infrastructure.
Pakistani Finance Minister Abdul Hafeez Shaikh is due to attend talks with the IMF on Wednesday to discuss easing restrictions on its $11bn loan package so it better fits the country's new economic reality.
Officials say the floods have destroyed more than 1.7m hectares (4.25m acres) of land, which will have a significant impact on the agricultural sector and the country's economic growth.
The IMF's regional director, Masood Ahmed told Reuters the flood would have "a major and lasting impact" on Pakistan.

Families trapped in Jaffarabad yet to be rescued
QUETTA: Thousands of families trapped in flood-affected areas of Jaffarabad district are yet to be rescued. They are facing an acute shortage of food, drinking water and medicines.
Although the army has rescued hundreds of people, a large number of families are still stranded in the flooded areas and along the Khirthar canal.
The death toll in Jaffarabad rose to 50 on Tuesday. Fifteen of them died of gastroenteritis and other diseases and the others were swept away by flood ********.
“Yes, so far 50 people have died in Jaffarabad,” Nasirabad Division Commissioner Nasibullah Bazai told Dawn, adding that a large number of people were still stranded in different areas. The administration, with the help of the army and Frontier Corps, he said, was trying to rescue them.
“But we need more helicopters and boats.” Breaches in Saifullah Magsi canal have released ******** of water which have inundated Gandakha town and adjoining areas.
Officials said the army and local administration were trying to rescue people stranded in the town. But there have been complaints that no helicopter or boat has been to Gandakha for two days and people there are starving.
Like Gandakha, Dera Allahyar, Rojhan Jamali and Sohbatpur are under eight to ten feet of water. Irrigation officials and local people succeeded on Tuesday in changing the course of water from Jhal Magsi to its natural channels in Sindh. The town has already been evacuated.
“Jhal Magsi is now safe,” officials said, adding that the floodwater was now moving to Ghari Khairo, Shahdadkot and Garhi Yasin on the Sindh-Balochistan border.
However, Kot Magsi and many of its villages are still under water. A number of rice mills have been inundated and rice crop in Usta Mohammad has been destroyed.
Health officials said that hundreds of cases of gastroenteritis, sink diseases, eye infections and other waterborne diseases had been reported from flood-stricken towns and villages and relief camps in Dera Murad Jamali, Sibi, Dhadar and Quetta. Four people, a woman and a child among them, died in Dera Allahyar and Sohbatpur on Monday.
The officials said that there was an acute shortage of medicines in hospitals and medical camps in the district. A large number of patients are being treated in hospitals in Dera Murad Jamali, Sibi and Quetta.
Meanwhile, Deputy Chairman of the Senate Mir Jan Mohammad Khan Jamali has warned that hundreds of thousands of people stranded in areas of Jaffarabad district will die of hunger and diseases if they are not rescued immediately.
“They are living in the open and facing hunger, thirst and different diseases,” he told Dawn here on Tuesday.
“Affected families have not been receiving food and drinking water for 10 days,” Mr Jamali said, adding that a large number of people had fallen sick because of consuming contaminated water.
He said the government and the army should immediately launch a rescue operation to avert further tragedy.
Mr Jamali severely criticised the local administration and said there was no civil administration in Dear Allahyar, Rojhan Jamali and Usta Mohammad. “Officials of the administration fled the towns after issuing evacuation warnings.”
He said the Balochistan government should set up a base camp in Nasirabad to monitor and accelerate relief operation and the army should provide more helicopters for rescuing people.
Mr Jamali, a former chief minister, suggested that the provincial government should divert its development and non-development expenditures to relief and rehabilitation work in the flood-hit areas.
He said he had written a letter to Chief Justice Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry requesting him to take sue motu notice of the breach made in the Tori embankment which had inundated Jaffarabad. He said the breach had displaced four million people in Sindh and one million in Balochistan.

UN says 800,000 people cut off by floods
The United Nations has launched an urgent appeal for more helicopters for Pakistan where it said 800,000 people have been cut off by the countrys devastating floods and were only reachable by air.
As monsoon floods continue to displace millions in southern Pakistan, an estimated 800,000 people in need across the country are only accessible by air, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said. More helicopters are urgently required, OCHA said in a statement Tuesday.
The worst natural disaster in Pakistans history has already affected 20 million people in nearly a month of flooding triggered by heavy monsoon rains, and left 1,500 people dead.
Five million people have been made homeless across the country and officials have warned that millions are at risk from disease and food shortages. These unprecedented floods pose unprecedented logistical challenges, and this requires an extraordinary effort by the international community, said John Holmes, UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator.
Marcus Prior of the World Food Programme said at least 40 additional heavy-lift helicopters were needed to reach the huge numbers of increasingly desperate people with life-saving relief, according to the OCHA statement.
Pakistani officials have warned that the countrys fertile southern plains face the risk of more flooding in the next few days as a major river threatens to burst its banks.
