Around
3.5 million people were made homeless by the disaster, while
an estimated 600,000 rural homes were damaged or destroyed.
The government is overseeing the reconstruction of permanent
housing but not all survivors have been able to rebuild yet.
Between January and March 2007, the International Federation
and Pakistan Red Crescent provided 18,000 families with tarpaulins,
shelter repair kits, quilts, blankets and shawls as part of
a "warm shelter solution" aimed at helping people
in remote areas, like Khan Mohammed (pictured), survive another
winter.
