Floods sweep future from Pakistan students

Education is a rare ticket out of grinding poverty in Pakistan, where a third of the country lives in hardship on less than $3.65 a day.

But summer floods this year has crippled 27,000 schools and spurred a humanitarian disaster which saw 7,000 more commandeered as aid centres, according to UNICEF.

Students have to study in makeshift tents with thousands of schools still closed.
