HALF MILLION PERISH in PAKISTAN - David Jon Hill - December 1970

David Jon Hill

... the headlines told us during the first flush of news reporting about the Pakistani disaster. But now articles on the tragedy can be found only in the back pages. Nearly three million Pakistanis are homeless, victims of a tragedy that some estimate took the lives of 300,000 to 500,000 or more people overnight! The triple terror of wind, water and now disease is still claiming lives in the wake of the greatest natural disaster of this century - a disaster that may yet prove to be the greatest single cause of loss of human life in the last 4000 years of recorded history. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
