Cold, hungry and helpless: Quake victims wait for aid

Injured and hungry, families huddled under makeshift tents waiting for relief supplies today after Pakistan’s worst earthquake wiped out entire villages, buried roads in rubble and knocked out electricity and water supplies. The death toll ranged from 20,000 and 30,000 and is expected to rise.

The United Nations warned that more than 2.5 million people were in need of shelter after Saturday's 7.6-magnitude quake. With landslides still blocking roads to many of the worst-hit areas, Pakistan’s army was flying food, water and medicines into the disaster zone. The US military planned to send eight helicopters from Afghanistan.
