"Quake survivors storm helicopters" (Pakistan)

[Pert_UK]

"Dozens of quake survivors have stormed UN helicopters in Pakistan-administered Kashmir, forcing the crews to evacuate them to cities in the region.

The UN said the survivors had been stranded in mountains and called the incidents extremely disturbing.

There were two incidents, involving more than 50 people. The survivors fled on arriving at Muzaffarabad and Abbottabad. No-one was arrested...

The UN official said even though no-one was seriously injured, the two incidents were extremely disturbing."

I'm not sure you can hold it against people when they're freezing in the mountains....

1. My impression

survivors clammor to get on board. Finding passes blocked and no way out, food and medicine relying entirely on the allied air drops.


Why helicopters don't carry folks out as well as supplies in? Waiting list is more calming, giving hope, knowing next heli will always be coming if MRE livelyhood is disappointing.

plus efficient use of transport two-ways....

Last month they said these people didn't want to evacuate?
