Nearly six weeks after Pakistan's killer earthquake, people with untreated injuries are still being brought down from remote mountain settlements.
A villager trekked out of the mountains to the east of Muzaffarabad, capital of Pakistani Kashmir, this week and told an aid group that people were still lying injured in three tiny, remote settlements.

But aid officials warn that time is running out and many more people could die.
Some hard-hit areas are still cut off by landslides triggered by the quake that swept away roads. No one knows how many people are still stranded in the mountains without help.
