Injured Pakistani quake survivors finally get help (TIME RUNNING OUT!)
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.

<snip>

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.

1. Just did. Thanks for the reminder.
We watched 60 Minutes last Sunday and were heart broken at the suffering in Pakistan. One old man walked up to the Paramedics and showed him his hands as if to say we are all human. we all have 2 hands and 10 fingers.
