...When Indian Kashmiris do venture across the LoC, one of their first stops will be Kamsa refugee camp, just north of Muzaffarabad on the banks of the Neelum river. The camp was hastily built 15 years ago to shelter Kashmiris fleeing a fresh outbreak of violence on the Indian side when jihadist separatist fighters launched an offensive against Indian troops. The militancy persists, with over 50,000 dead-indeed, the killing of a top government official on the Indian side within days of the quake suggests there has been no letup in attacks as a result of the disaster, while...
...them enough money to live above the poverty line, that tells us something about Ramaswamy’s moral condition, not about the relative merits of the living-wage campaign. Regardless, I imagine that Harvard workers care much more about their ability to pay for food, heat, and shelter than they do about something as inconsequential as Ramaswamy’s respect...
...villages, burying scores of people whose bodies remain unrecovered. In Pakistan, officials expect the final toll to exceed 50,000 dead, with many thousands injured and more than 2 million people left homeless.

The delay in getting supplies to the disaster zone raised fears of untreated injuries, disease and malnutrition, or worse: the looming...

Many roads into the high mountains are wiped out, and heavy rain grounds some relief flights, further slowing efforts to reach survivors...
...statistics from Doctors Without Borders, that $250,000 would fund nearly 3 million high-energy meals for children who would otherwise go hungry. Instead, Harvard will donate its money to organizations performing an array of services for Katrina victims—from feeding them snacks to finding them shelter beds. But in very few (if any) cases will Harvard’s Katrina donations mean the difference between life and death. Although it’s difficult to quantify the impact of a charitable gift, we can be quite certain that Harvard’s money could save many more...
