Winter weather has made life more difficult for the survivors of last year’s massive earthquake in South Asia. Meanwhile, Christian and non-governmental organisations continue to work with survivors, particularly in hard-hit northern Pakistan and Kashmir, according to reports.
"The major challenge with regards to camp management at this time is the service and food delivery to spontaneous camps," the report said, according to UMNS.
The Pakistan Army also has built shelters and is "working round the clock in affected areas of Mansehra, Battagram, Kohistan and Shangla districts to save quake survivors from severe cold."
