Pakistan quake death toll nears 40,000

President Gen. Pervez Musharraf said the grim numbers — estimated by the military at 38,000 dead and 62,000 injured in Pakistan alone — were likely to get worse in the coming days as rescue teams reach more villages.

The official toll in Pakistan, which previously stood at 25,000, rose sharply because more bodies have been pulled from the rubble in recent days, army officials said.

"I think it will keep rising when we go into the valleys," the president said at a news conference in Rawalpindi, near the capital.

"There are rescue operations going on, but after eight days it's going to be a miracle" to save anyone else, he said. "From a medical point of view we don't want epidemics to spread, and that's why we are continuing (clearing bodies)."

Later Saturday, the prime minister made it clear that shelter was now the priority.

"We need tents, tents, tents and prefab housing," Aziz told reporters.

Officials say 200,000 houses were destroyed by the quake. Aziz also said officials were planning an international donors' conference to be held within the next week in Geneva.

He estimated that rebuilding Pakistan would cost "close to $5 billion."

Pakistan's Interior Ministry on Saturday ordered that visas be granted free-of-charge to all relief workers and doctors coming to help for the next three months. Already 2,873 emergency personnel from 61 countries have flooded in, the ministry said.

While U.N. officials have estimated the reconstruction would take 10 years, "we think it would be faster," it said.

The U.N.'s World Food Program said Saturday it had flown in 35 tons of high-energy bars, donated by Norway, to be distributed in the affected areas. The rations contain enough nutrients for one week for more than 75,000 people, and more flights were planned for next week, the agency said.

At 8:51 a.m. — exactly a week after the quake — thousands of Muslims gathered at Islamabad's towering Faisal mosque for special prayers for the dead.

Prayer leader Qari Nauman Ahmad urged people to donate what they could to quake victims and to seek God's forgiveness, saying continuing aftershocks were a sign that God was not happy.

Rescue workers abandoned the official search Friday for survivors trapped in the rubble, though individual efforts continued.

"There are still some affected areas that need to be reached," Sardar Anwar Khan, president of Pakistan-controlled Kashmir, said in the badly quake-hit city of Muzaffarabad.

More delays could be catastrophic. UNICEF has warned that thousands of children could die from cold, malnutrition and disease.

Overnight rains also prevented troops from getting relief to the three villages still cut off in Indian Kashmir, where some 1,350 people have died, officials said.

Indian army soldiers on foot were trying to reach Taad, Shararat and Vayu — all at least 10,000 feet up in the Himalayas — said V.V. Vyas, a top provincial bureaucrat overseeing relief work.
