The UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has asked for an extra $120 million for tents and other supplies for flood victims in Pakistan

The UN has warned that floods in Pakistan have also destroyed seeds and crops that will cause an increase in food prices in the country.

At least 8 million people reportedly rely on aid to survive, six weeks after monsoon rains caused a deluge in Pakistan.

About 7.9 million acres of land - 14 percent of Pakistan's entire cultivated land have been damaged due to heavy floods.

According to the United Nations, the heavy flood in Pakistan that hit the country after the Indus river burst its banks, has left more than 1,600 dead and more than 6 million homeless, affecting at least 17 million people in the country.

Meanwhile, while the country is troubled by flood crisis, 21 people were killed and 70 others were wounded yesteday in a bomb attack targeting police residential colony in Pakistan's Kohat area.

Pakistan's law enforcement personnel have cordoned off the entire area.

Militants have launched a series of attacks in the past week as Muslims mark the final days of the holy month of Ramadan.

At least 35 people were killed and 250 others were wounded in triple bomb blasts targeting Shiite religious procession in Lahore on Wednesday

Two of the blasts were suicide attacks, while the third was from a timed device, according to local police officials.

Scores of people died and were hurt in three bomb explosions pile pressure on a government already overwhelmed by floods.

Prime Minister, Yousuf Raza Gilani, in a speech to the cabinet on Wednesday, said the country had suffered economic losses of $43 billion from the deluge.

US officials fear militants might seek to exploit the state's current weakness to intensify attacks.

No one took responsibility for the blast and in the past al-Qaeda linked militants based in Pakistan have struck at Shiite targets.

The attack sparked immediate protests by angry residents who have endured months of violent suicide bombingss, most recently the July attack on the shrine of a Sufi saint, which killed more than 40 people.
