"With evidence that waterborne disease is on the rise, World Vision has opened an emergency primary health clinic in Lower Dir, an area of Pakistan severely hit by monsoons and floods. The clinic has already received an influx of patients from the area, including many who lost their homes. The effort comes as forecasters predict additional monsoon rains will hit Pakistan in the first two weeks of August."
