Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari has made his first visit to flood-hit areas of the country, following widespread criticism of his decision to travel abroad during the disaster.

The floods, triggered by monsoon rains, have killed at least 1,600 people and affected close to 14 million in the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, Punjab and Sindh provinces over the last two weeks. The U.N. has appealed for $460 million dollars to provide immediate help, including food, shelter and clean water.
