Snow, rain bring misery to Pakistan survivors
Published in Saudi Press Agency on 02 - 01 - 2006

Heavy snow and rain brought more misery to Pakistan's earthquake survivors on Monday, halting relief work, bringing landslides down on roads and flooding tents across the cold, wet mountains according to Reuters.
There were no reports of deaths from sickness or accidents in the first severe weather of a late winter, a major test for the army and the United Nations, who are running the relief effort, and for more than two million homeless survivors.
More than a foot of snow fell on the mountains while a relentless icy rain drenched the valleys. The meteorological department said the bad weather might last until Jan. 7.
"Everything is wet," said a weeping woman, Shakina, huddled with one of her three children next to a fire outside here sodden tent in a camp in Muzaffarabad, capital of Pakistani Kashmir, Reuters reported.
"This is very difficult for me and my children. We can't survive in this tent." --More
