The hundreds of thousands of survivors of the Pakistan earthquake are continuing to struggle through another period of misery amid severe winter weather conditions as relief work was halted by heavy snow and rain which has led to many landslides.

"Everything is wet," said a weeping woman, Shakina, huddled with one of her three children next to a fire outside here sodden tent in a camp in Muzaffarabad, capital of Pakistani Kashmir. "This is very difficult for me and my children. We can't survive in this tent."

“It's what we've always expected, now it's the reality," International Committee of the Red Cross spokeswoman Jessica Barry said of the weather. "If it lasts, it's going to get more and more grim.”
