Tents, blankets and other badly needed supplies have begun flowing to hard-hit towns in the earthquake-stricken zone of Pakistani-controlled Kashmir, but the army has yet to reach many isolated villages.

Pakistan's President, Pervez Musharraf, faced criticism and warnings of political trouble while expressing regret for delays in relief efforts, while the United Nations warned that as many as 2 million people have been left homeless and face hunger and disease as the Himalayan winter looms.

General Musharraf acknowledged the slowness of the relief effort in a live television address on Wednesday night, but said landslides had cut roads to many of the worst-hit areas and "any country" would have faced similar problems. He said the army had reopened key roads and was moving quickly to aid survivors, opening field hospitals and dispatching search teams to remote areas.

On Wednesday relief convoys wound along twisting mountain roads past rockslides and knots of desperate, hungry survivors, many of whom had walked out of their ruined villages after spending a fourth night in the cold. Helicopters that had been temporarily grounded by rain and hailstorms resumed shuttling supplies and evacuating injured victims of Saturday's quake.
