Rights Groups Accuses Pakistan Officials of Storing Tents Instead of Distributing

MUZAFFARABAD, Pakistan (AP) - A U.S.-based human rights groups on Saturday accused Pakistani officials of storing tents and other relief supplies instead of immediately distributing them to earthquake survivors. The government denied the accusation.

India, meanwhile, said it would allow Pakistanis across the cease-fire line in the disputed territory of Kashmir to receive aid at three relief camps it was setting up. The step is a further goodwill gesture between the longtime South Asian rivals in the wake of shared grief following the temblor that killed an estimated 79,000 people.

The U.N. also appealed for more aid two weeks after the Oct. 8 earthquake, warning of another wave of deaths if survivors do not get shelter and food before the Himalayan winter sets in.

NATO has agreed to send up to 1,000 troops to Pakistan to boost relief efforts.
