Appeal for funds to keep helicopters flying
The World Food Programme chief has appealed for urgent funds to keep an airlift flying to quake-ravaged areas through the winter, calling it “the most difficult” logistical task the UN agency has ever faced.
Fearing a second wave of deaths, soldiers and emergency workers have been racing to get food and proper shelter for survivors of the October 8 quake that killed 87,000 people in Pakistan and India.
