The estimated death toll from last month’s south Asian earthquake rose again today to 87,000 with warnings that thousands more will die as the savage Himalayan winter sets in.

A month after the devastating disaster, the head of the United Nations’ humanitarian efforts, Jan Egeland, said survivors in Kashmir would “freeze to death if they don’t get assistance in weeks”.
