 Most of the tents handed out to Pakistani earthquake survivors are incapable of withstanding the winter and the focus of relief efforts is now on other ways to ensure people stay warm, aid officials said on Friday.
The October 8 earthquake killed more than 73,000 people and left up to three million homeless. The worry as a brutal Himalayan winter sets in is that disease could kill cold and poorly nourished survivors.
"Keeping the people dry, keeping the people warm, well-fed and healthy remains a colossal job," chief U.N. humanitarian coordinator Jan Vandemoortele told a news conference.
"The situation remains very difficult and actually we are on a knife's edge," he said. |

 European justice and interior ministers adopted on Thursday, December 1, a new counter-terror strategy.
"The strategy sets out our objectives to prevent new recruits to
terrorism; better protect potential targets; pursue and investigate
members of existing networks and improve our capability to respond to
and manage the consequences of terrorist attacks," the ministers said
in a statement, reported Agence France-Presse (AFP).
The 25-member bloc should step up security at ports of entry to make it
"harder for known or suspected terrorists to enter or operate within
the EU", the paper said.

Despite Russia's 30-fold disadvantage in financing its space effort
as compared with America's, it has greater chances of being the first
in reaching the Moon this time, or perhaps the Mars.
The
paradox is that the Americans have put all their money in the transport
system being developed by NASA (the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration) and its budgetary division. |
