Victims of Pakistan Disaster Still Require Aid
October 5, 2006
Victims of last year’s earthquake in northern Pakistan remain desperately in need of assistance, with 90 percent of them saying they still require food, shelter, and jobs, according to a new study by the Fritz Institute, in San Francisco.
The institute, a nonprofit research group that studies disaster relief, also said that 60 percent of survivors remain displaced because of the disaster, which killed 73,000 people and rendered 3.3 million people homeless.
