UN emergency co-ordinator appeals for more aid

The UN’s emergency relief chief arrived in quake-stricken Pakistan today to survey ongoing aid efforts for the millions affected by last weekend’s natural disaster.

UN Under-secretary General and Emergency Relief Co-ordinator Jan Egeland flew by helicopter to the devastated city of Muzaffarabad, capital of the Pakistani-controlled side of Kashmir, to get a first-hand look at what he called a “massive relief operation".
