Abstract

By combining global positioning system observations of surface displacements and the locations of aftershocks, we infer that the 8 October 2005 Kashmir earthquake occurred on multiple fault planes. Mean slip of ~5.1 m occurred on a rupture between Bagh and Balakot with strike 331[degrees] and dip 29[degrees]. Additional slip occurred at depth on a NNE-dipping fault plane extending WNW from Balakot, and on an intersecting nearly flat dislocation at ~5 km depth, forming an active wedge thrust. Both the simple fault plane and the blind wedge accommodate convergence between Peshawar and Leh, Ladakh, accumulating at 7 [+ or -] 2 mm/yr, suggesting a 680 [+ or -] 150 yr recurrence interval for Kashmir 2005-like events. Keywords: Kashmir earthquake, wedge thrust, Himalayan tectonics.

Abstract

The Al Qaeda-affiliated terrorist attacks, Iran's attempt to wipe off Israel, the Hamas taking over Palestinian territories, countrywide riots in France, and the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, have retrenched and weakened the Western alliance. However, Washington and the capitals of Europe have responded to the mounting pressure by forging a degree of strategic consensus not seen since shortly after the 9/11 attacks in 2001.

Abstract

The lessons learned from the disaster response to the Kashmir earthquake of 8 October 2005 is illustrated. A review shows that the entire institutional structure of the country was completely unprepared to deal with a major disaster and the disaster-affected people of Pakistan and Kashmir were failed not only by their government but also by the international community's aid fatigue where the affected people seem to be left to their destiny to deal with the approaching harsh winter conditions.

She had completed clinical placements in theatre, A&E, surgical, high-dependency and adult leukemia units, as well as general medical wards but nothing had prepared her for the devastation she faced on landing and the sheer desperation of the situation and that the people really needed help kept her going.

Abstract

Washington wants to actively participate in relief aid for Kashmir's earthquake victims, but aid fatigue has slowed down the high intensity campaign to win hearts and minds in the Muslim worlds. The U.S. war machine in Afghanistan was the Western military force closest to the epicenter of the quake yet it was the Iranians and the Turks who were first to respond in a significant way within the initial 24 hours.
