Pakistan and India agree to open Kashmir border
The head of the UN Children’s Fund yesterday warned thousands more could die in the region from disease, diarrhoea and injuries if survivors do not receive more medical attention, tents and blankets as the harsh Himalayan winter bears down on them.
About 80,000 people were killed in the October 8 quake, most of them on the Pakistani side of divided Kashmir. More than 1,300 people died on the Indian side of Kashmir. An estimated 800,000 survivors still lack basic shelter with tents in short supply.
