Pakistan, U.N. seek international aid amid catastrophic flooding that displaced millions

The United Nations is calling for $160 million in emergency funding to help Pakistan cope with catastrophic flooding. The disaster has killed more than 1,160 people, displaced millions, destroyed roads and crops and left one-third of the country, an area the size of Colorado, under water. Sherry Rehman, Pakistan's minister of climate change, joined Nick Schifrin to discuss the ongoing disaster.
