As floodwaters continue to travel south through the country, tens of thousands of people are being displaced each day.
Earlier, the UN said it had raised some 70% of the money needed to provide emergency relief to flood victims.
The International Monetary Fund is to start talks with Pakistan later to discuss what it can do to help deal with the crisis.
The IMF says the floods pose a "massive economic challenge" and it will review the country's budget and financial prospects.

The UN now estimates that the number of people who need basic shelter has gone from two million to six million.
Nearly 17 million people have been affected by the floods.
This week marks a month since the flooding started, and the United Nations says that, although it has raised close to 70% of the $460m (£295m) needed to provide emergency relief, many people have yet to receive any help, says the BBC's Jill McGivering in Sindh, the country's worst affected province.
Some $54m are in uncommitted pledges, and $263m are resources available now.
In the UK, relief agencies have said public donors have given £29m ($45m) to the relief effort.
They also said the international response had been slow to build up, but that they had received more donations in the second week than the first week, which was rarely seen in such appeals.
