Quake survivors fight for relief goods they recieved Tuesday, Oct. 11, 2005 at a sports stadium in Muzaffarabad, capital of Pakistani Kashmir, as aircrafts rushed in supplies from abroad and Washington pledged US$50 million (euro41 million) in aid. Hungry families displaced in Pakistan's worst earthquake huddled against the cold in tents while shopkeepers clashed with looters. Officials predict the death toll, now estimated at between 20,000 and 30,000, will climb because of exposure and disease.
