Guest guest Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 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. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/4324534.stm Dear List Members, Dasha is Ve/Mo/Ju/Ra/Ke.
