Sukkur, Pakistan (CNN) -- The head of the U.S. Agency for International Development traveled Wednesday to relief camps in Pakistan's southern Sindh province to get a personal look at what is being done for the flood victims and what they still need.
He got an earful.
"They are saying we get food now, but our children are sick," an interpreter told Dr. Rajiv Shah at a camp in Sukkur, near the border with India.
"It's tragic, and when you walk through there and they talk to people, the first thing they tell you is what they've lost, which is generally everything," Shah said. "And then they quickly get to the things they need right now."
