What is the one good thing concerning the flooding?

The United Nations estimates the countrywide flooding in Pakistan has affected more than one million people. It has been particularly difficult for those in the northwestern Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Province. U. N. Office for Coordinating Humanitarian Affairs spokeswoman Nicki Bennett says the mountainous northwestern part of the country normally does not see disaster flooding.(9)Bennett says fortunately, many humanitarian agencies were in place there to help with the millions of people affected by the Pakistani military’s ongoing offensive against the Taliban.(10)She says the work still is not easy, though, considering this is the country’s worst flooding in more than 80 years and the area’s mountainous terrain can make transportation difficult, even in the best of weather. Authorities say thousands of people remain stranded in villages with food and fuel running low. Bennett says clean drinking water is the next big concern, especially to prevent an outbreak of diseases. A few days without rain have allowed flood waters to begin to recede, but weather forecasters predict more monsoon rains in the days to come.
