Remote quake survivors found

NEARLY six weeks after Pakistan’s killer earthquake, people with untreated injuries are still being brought down from remote mountain settlements.

A villager trekked out of the mountains to the east of Muzaffarabad, capital of Pakistani Kashmir, this week and told an aid group that people were still lying injured in three tiny, remote settlements.

The information was passed to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), which is operating nine helicopters as part of aid efforts.
