Situation in Kashmir "worse than tsunami"
"A second 'Berlin Airlift' by NATO is needed to prevent massive loss of life in the aftermath of the devastating earthquake in Pakistan's northern mountains, Jan Egeland, the United Nations' emergency relief co-ordinator said yesterday.
"Mr Egeland said the relief operation was turning into the toughest the world has known.
"'We have never had this kind of logistical nightmare ever. We thought the tsunami was bad -- this is worse,' said Mr Egeland at a news conference in Geneva.
"'We need a second Berlin airbridge, and if they could do that at the end of the 1940s, set up in no time a lifeline to millions of people, we should be able to do that in 2005.'"
