Death toll may cross 200,000
From our correspondent
ISLAMABAD - As more reports of cities and villages being totally reduced to rubble in NWFP and AJK pour in, the confirmed death toll currently put at 20,000 by the government is likely to go beyond 200,000.
According to estimates the death toll in Hazara division alone may rise close to 100,000. This includes the death of 60,000 or more in Balakot, 1,000 in Battagram, and hundreds more in Mansehra, and Abbottabad districts.
Dozens of villages have turned into mounds of earth; the number of their dead will take a long time coming.
The situation in Azad Kashmir is horrifying, with dozens of towns, villages, and hamlets turned into huge graveyards. Muzaffarabad alone is feared to account for more than 20,000 dead.
The beautiful city of Bagh (Garden) in Azad Kashmir has been wiped out completely. It is feared that more than 70,000 are dead in that unfortunate city.
The death toll in areas beyond Balakot and Karlot has not been confirmed yet as there is no access to Kaghan Valley by road from Balakot.
According to some estimates thousands of casualties are expected in these areas too once a road link is established and rescuers can go in.
The relief efforts have been marred by the lack of heavy machinery and landslides on the roads that have severed the affected areas from the entire country.
As the hundreds of critically injured succumb to their injured, the death toll is rising in hospitals and relief camps.
News of heavy loss of life from far flung areas of remote Kohistan has also started coming in.
It will take another week or so at the very least before some estimations of the loss of life there could be determined.
Miracle: three found alive after 60 hours
We need all the help we can get for these poor ppl...

its the headline from a widely published newspaper and according to this only the city of Bagh had 70000 ppl...Muzzafarabad was the capital city of Azad Kashmir i have benn there few times..its definitely bigger than 600000..
but Wellah Ho Alam...
especially when opposition is playing blame game..
no they dont know the real figure..buts its alot more than the press releases..
increasing every hour..
This city population was more than Million people...
a simple lay man can tell wat does this mean...
more than 60000 ppl dead alone in Muzaffar abad is local ppl estimate..
