Landslides triggered by aftershock in Pakistan (urgent aid needed!)

Sunday's magnitude-6.0 aftershock, one of the biggest since the original 7.6-magnitude quake, unleashed landslides that temporarily blocked traffic near Balakot, said Ali Hassan of the Pakistani agency in charge of road-clearing.

The quake killed about 80,000 people, most of them on the Pakistani-controlled side of divided Kashmir. It left about 3 million people homeless and hundreds of thousands are still without any form of shelter as the harsh Himalayan winter fast approaches.

Please Help! Next few weeks are CRITICAL: Snow is coming and 3 million homeless may freeze! Not enough tents in the world for all the survivors!
