Starting on the Road to Recovery: Saving lives and rebuilding livelihoods after the Pakistan earthquake
Overview
On 8 October 2005, an earthquake measuring 7.6 on the Richter scale ripped through Northern Pakistan, leaving 80,000 people dead and affecting 3 million more. The crisis is far from over: survivors of the earthquake still face dangers and difficulties as the worst of Pakistan’s winter weather has now settled in. Many people are huddled in tents and shelters that give inadequate protection against the freezing temperatures, with only sporadic and insufficient supplies of food.
