...freezing weather closes in on the Neelum Valley, which climbs to 2,425 m above sea level, George and legions of other relief workers are worried that their efforts won't be enough. The earthquake that ripped through Pakistan and India killed more than 75,000 and injured more than 128,000. It also left some 3.5 million people without livelihoods, food or homes.
