Earthquake in Pakistan 8 oct 2005
8 oct 2005 - A powerful 7.6 magnitude earthquake struck the India-Pakistan border with more than 140 aftershocks, causing extensive damage in Pakistan, India and Afghanistan. Reports indicate more than 82,000 people have been killed and more than 3.3 million people have been left injured or homeless. With more than 1,000 hospitals destroyed, the looming threat of illness and the harsh Himalayan winters quickly approaching, the need for decisive action in the face of this emergency is tremendous.
