Relief efforts have been severely hampered by the remoteness of many places hit by the quake, and by the lack of money for aid and assistance. The U.N. said last week that, with winter blizzards just weeks away, it urgently needed $550 million to avert a second wave of deaths from cold, yet had only received one-fifth of that...
