Pakistan floods: Pregnant, afraid and yearning for home

A Pakistani school has turned into a camp for people who fled the recent monsoon floods. 

On the outskirts of Lahore, floodwaters from the river Ravi have displaced thousands. Yasmin Shahbaz and her family, along with millions of other people across Pakistan's Punjab province, were forced to flee their homes.

Shahbaz is eight months pregnant. Right now, her only home is a classroom, which she shares with dozens of other evacuees. Sanitation is makeshift, and she is afraid of complications.

According to studies, flood exposure can increase risks of pregnancy loss, gestational hypertension, low birth weight and other health issues for mother and child. This is due to stress, poor hygiene, displacement and interruption of prenatal care.
