Scaled 7.6

Pakistan northern areas have suffered from a major earth quake. it struck in the early hours of the morning. Islamabad, the capital was teh big city that suffered. Apart from that dozens of villages suffered. 12 of which are said to be totally flattened with no urvivors. Ofcourse, no one could reach those places to be sure. In Mansera- a village I visited back in May, a school fell with 300-400 kids studying. After two days the govt still hadn't reached to help the alive children out. Ofcourse, I doubt by that time there might not have been many survivors! To top it all, a storm struck in the night. Can u believe it? If some kids were in there alive they'd have drowned!
By now the news is one of the vilage stinks so bad that they will not bother to lift the dead bidies out, they will turn it to a grave yard.
They need things. Injectibles, medicines, water, clothes, shelter. They are poor homeless people who have lost all they had- most of them even their loved ones. the good thing is, the common folk like us are doing all they can to help financially as well as physically. People have hired helicopters to send the goods to the villages. to reach those places by road is not possible anymore.
It is bad. the suffering is awesome. May God Help us all. and help the survivgors get over their friends, family they've lost!
