South Asian Quake Update

Pakistan is revising the death toll from the quake that devastated the region from around 40,000 to more than 54,000. The revision comes as officials have been able to access more remote areas. Areas that managed to survive wars between Pakistan and India were wiped out by the quake.

Despite the damage and the fact that authorities have called off the search for survivors, reports claim that a little girl was pulled alive from the rubble after eight days.
