Dozens, if not hundreds, of people lay dying, and for many residents, the closest medical attention meant carrying the injured for nine hours along trails that thread down a rocky cliff face to the Indus, where they might hail a passing boat. The tribes also needed blankets and tents. With their plight desperate, tribal elders sent word that they badly needed help...

He spoke bitterly of the plight of the Kashmiris, whose lives have been ripped apart by India and Pakistan's tussle over land. Talking to one reporter, he said, "We were told that we would stay at the camps for only a few months. But over 15 years have passed now, and we are still here.
