The October 8th, 2005 earthquake in Pakistan killed more than 80,000 people and left another 3.5 million homeless. Within days of the disaster, a team of young Pakistani reporters were producing a daily hour-long program on humanitarian information for survivors.
The program, Jazba-e-Tameer (Desire to Rebuild), was broadcast by three emergency radio stations by November 15th and by a total of 17 radio stations across the earthquake zone and the country within four months of the disaster.
In January 2006, world class photographer Mark Edwards spent a week following the reporting team into affected communities as they gathered information and feedback for the daily program.
It hasn't gotten much easier for the survivors one year on. See stories from VOA, the China Post, Reuters, and at The Guardian.
