Two fundraising events in south Wales have raised money for the victims of the Pakistan floods.

A dinner and charity auction at Cardiff City Hall on Sunday night followed a similar event in Newport on Saturday.

Organisers were hoping to raise more than £100,000 for the relief effort, with the UN saying up to 20 million people have been affected.

Habib Malik from Islamic Relief told fundraisers it was the worst disaster he had witnessed  "I've seen men who couldn't look into their wives or sisters' eyes because they were feeling themselves so helpless” Habib Malik Islamic Relief

Mr Malik, who has just returned from Pakistan, said: "To see women holding onto their babies next to their chests waiting for baby milk - they were using their thumb, trying to comfort the baby using their thumb.

"I've seen men who couldn't look into their wives or sisters' eyes because they were feeling themselves so helpless.

"I have worked in other disasters such as the Bangladesh floods and tsunami and so on but in my own opinion this probably was the worst... I have experienced myself.
