On the 9th of October 2005 a dangerous earth quake
hit Pakistan. The enormous quake measured 7.6 with its centre in Kashmir.

| Since the laws
controlling the buildings aren’t as strict in the
U.K. the buildings were not strong enough to handle the risk of an earthquake.
Many children and their teachers were killed as the buildings collapsed.
Pakistan’s
President Perez Musharraf said 19,000 people were killed and thousands of children
were made homeless. In one place 126 calls were made in four-and-a half hours.
But on average forty to fifty calls would have been made at each stop as the
aid distributions were going on.
By now people hadn’t had food or water for three days or over.
It was realised that over two million people could of lost their home.
Many people were sleeping
rough outside on the hard and filthy floor.
It is feared
the death toll could rise if homeless families are left to bear the cold in
the mountainous terrain.

How many children were made homeless?
How did they live with out food and water?
How did the people in Pakistan who survived start their lives again after
the earthquake? |
