PAKISTAN, Tor Ghar: Workers load relief aid for earthquake survivors in Tor Ghar on October 29, 2015. The powerful 7.5-magnitude earthquake that struck on October 26 ripped across Afghanistan and Pakistan, killing nearly 390 people and levelling thousands of homes, forcing many to camp out in the open. The army has led the rescue effort in Pakistan while the government has promised aid and compensation, but with many of the affected communities isolated by rugged terrain, help may not arrive before the snow does.
