Kashmir Photographs continued......

On the 8th of October 2005 a 7.6 magnitude earthquake struck Northern Pakistan in the Kashmir mountain area. The destruction caused to houses and buildings is huge and there are currently 3.5 million people displaced. The weather is getting colder and the rain has made logistics a real problem for relief efforts to the most affected areas






 

.In an area of Kashmir called Bagh, 95% of the residents are living under the stars.

There are around 1200 Shelterboxes  in Pakistan and the first tented village in Bagh
was set up on the 17/10/2005.

Smiling again now that Rotary  deliveries have arrived

At Last - a new home !
