The United States is stepping up its assistance to flood-ravaged Pakistan. Today, an American Navy ship carrying helicopters and about a thousand Marines reached Pakistan’s southern coast to boost relief efforts. US military choppers were already helping with evacuations and relief supply deliveries. But the US is now increasing the resources devoted to the operation. The floods in Pakistan have been massive. More than a thousand people have been killed. And millions have been displaced. US Army Major Dan Rice flies a Blackhawk helicopter. He arrived in Pakistan 2 days ago to help with flood relief. Jeb Sharp talks with him.
