Floods outstrip recent disasters: "The total number of people hit by Pakistan's flooding had outstripped the more than 3 million affected by the 2005 earthquake, 5 million affected by the tsunami and the 3 million hit by the Haiti quake, he said.
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon will issue an urgent appeal for several hundred million dollars to respond to Pakistan's immediate needs.
''I appeal for donors to generously support Pakistan at this difficult time,'' he said."
