*Earthquake in remote Pakistan*
Survivors of an earthquake that struck rural Pakistan earlier this week are still waiting for aid, an effort being hampered because militants in the region have been attacking government troops as they try to deliver relief supplies. The quake, which measured 7.7 in magnitude, has claimed more than 350 lives, injured more than 750, and damaged dozens of homes. Most of the victims were crushed when the walls of their mud brick houses caved in. Residents said the quake hit during the few hours of the day when the village had electricity, so many children were at home watching television.

UN chief Ban Ki-moon expressed his condolences and offered UN assistance to Pakistan as separatist threats and difficult access hindered rescue operations in the country's quake-hit southern villages. Rescuers, including over 1,200 military and paramilitary troops, restricted their movements after rebels fired rockets at helicopters and a team of medics was attacked in Awaran district, Balochistan province.

Tens of thousands of survivors of Pakistan's earthquake waited for help in soaring temperatures as the death toll rose to nearly 350 and anger grew at the slow pace of government aid. More than 100,000 people made homeless by a 7.7-magnitude quake spent a second night in the open or under makeshift shelters as response teams struggled to reach the remote region in the southwestern province of Baluchistan.
