根據世界保育聯盟(IUCN)、世界自然基金會(WWF)及國際關懷組織(CARE)三方今日發佈的聯合聲明指出,由於去年10月8日的一起嚴重的地震,造成巴基斯坦北方的環境危害一直持續。當地有許多地區缺乏乾淨的飲水及公共衛生的髒亂,遷居的生還者對脆弱的森林加重了更多的負擔,而冬季的豪雨將可能造成更多的土石崩塌。
Environmental Hazards Jeopardize Pakistan Earthquake Survivors
Environmental hazards persist in the areas of northern Pakistan shaken by a severe earthquake on October 8, 2005, according to a joint statement issued today by the World Conservation Union (IUCN), the Worldwide Fund for Nature, and CARE International. Clean water and sanitation are not available in many areas, displaced survivors are putting pressure on fragile forests, and heavy winter precipitation could bring down more slides.
