Damaged bridge over River Jehlum

Earthquake survivors cross a damaged brige over the Jehlum River as they evacuate from remote villages devastated by an earthquake. A massive earthquake that struck northeastern Pakistan left more than 86,000 people killed, 100,000 injured, and millions homeless. The lack of winterized tents and shelters, food and sanitation, heavy lifting equipment, and helicopters for reaching survivors in remote regions increased the death toll. Survivors were in dire need of winterized tents and blankets. --- 21 Oct 2005, Sirran, Pakistan ---
