Quake

crisis overwhelms Pakistan

 

 

 

 

Pakistan's president has appealed for

international help, saying his country cannot deal with the aftermath of the

massive earthquake on its own.

At least 19,000 people are thought to have

been killed in Pakistan,

and it is feared the toll could rise much higher.

With some towns and villages completely flattened, Pervez Musharraf

told the BBC that Pakistan needed " massive

cargo helicopter support " and aid supplies.

Some stricken parts of disputed Kashmir have still not

been reached.

" We certainly look for international help, " Mr Musharraf

told the BBC.

" The

military has been mobilised completely, " he said, but because roads in

remote mountainous regions had been blocked or swept away in landslides,

there was severe pressure on Pakistan's

" limited " transport and helicopter resources.

" Other than that we of course need

relief goods in the form of tents and blankets and medicines. "

The earthquake, which hit at

0350GMT on

Saturday, was felt as far away as the Afghan capital, Kabul, and India's capital, Delhi. Several

aftershocks followed.

It is thought to have been the strongest earthquake to hit the

region in a century.
