Doctor's diary: 'We need tents' - BBC News
There were two major aftershocks today. I saw the mountain and it looked as if it were about to split into two. An enormous rock was precariously suspended above us.
It could have killed us.
I've seen doctors in tears. They are on the frontline and they are working with people who are dying, people without shelter, sanitation, and they cannot cope with the trauma.
But I have also seen truck upon truck of aid from ordinary Pakistani people. My UN colleagues have told me they have never seen anything like this. It makes me feel proud.
...
There were people dying, being separated from families - a huge mob filled with pain. There were aftershocks, and all people could do was lie down. The casualties were enormous.
In this city alone, buildings, plazas, shopping centres just fell down.
This is a city, what is it like in the villages?
And it took well over a day for any relief to start coming. They were busy in Islamabad not thinking of the thousands of people still trapped in these rural areas.
In the evening it rained and hailed as a huge storm arrived. It was unimaginable. People were out in the cold, terrified, grieving.
There is no shelter, lots of women and children are braving the extreme weather without food and water, becoming infected by pneumonia.
The psychological trauma is difficult to cope with. We try to reassure them but what can we do when these people have nothing?
They have only their injuries. Their houses have been demolished, they have no money, no place to go.
