0:41Now PlayingVillagers displaced by flooding in southern Pakistan on Tuesday said they had received no aid after being forced to flee their homes.
Over the weekend, residents were ordered to evacuate their properties before engineers cut into an embankment at Lake Manchar to release rising floodwater.
The water from the lake has already flooded dozens of nearby villages, forcing hundreds of families to leave their homes in a hurry.
"Due to break of (the) dam, (the) whole of our area submerged in flood water. People are waiting for boats to evacuate, people are dying, but no one from (the) government side is reaching here. Boat owner(s) charge 200 pak rupees for each passenger, we don't know where to go."
Floods have affected more than 3.3 million in this Islamic nation of 220 million and the devastation has caused $10 billion in damages, according to government estimates.
The provinces of Punjab, Sindh, Baluchistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa have been the most affected and the majority of people killed were women and children.
Last week, the United States announced $30 million in aid for Pakistani flood victims.
