Kashmiri children, survivors of the October 8 earthquake, rest on a
hill overlooking an evacuation camp in Muzaffarabad, capital of
Pakistan-administered Kashmir, in this October 25, 2005 file photo.
At least 17,000 children died in schools destroyed in Pakistan's
devastating earthquake and a second wave of deaths could happen
unless the United Nations gets funds to ensure proper care for
survivors, UNICEF said on October 31, 2005. Children who survived
the quake had suffered probably even worse trauma than those who
escaped the Asian tsunami, said Ann Veneman, executive director of
the U.N. Children's Fund.. REUTERS/Kimimasa Mayama/File
