Latest on the South Asia earthquake
If you've been watching the news over the weekend, you may have seen moving reports about the efforts to get aid to the remote parts of India, Pakistan and Kashmir that were devastated by the earthquake last October. With winter well underway, and with it the serious threat of exposure, there are fears that the death toll will rise unless the international community speeds and scales up its operations. British boxer Amir Khan visited the region in December, and he commented on the cold: "I could feel the bitter cold though my thick winter jacket. It made me wonder how people here will survive the harsh winter... It's important that earthquake survivors in Pakistan are not forgotten - the world must not turn a blind eye to their suffering."
