The British Airways flight I arrived on from London had about 45 Pakistani and Pakistani/British citizens on it, the rest where all relief and rescue workers with a fair number of journalists from the BBC.

The Islamabad International Airport is full of military and civilian cargo aircraft delivering aid, the military side of the airport (Chaklala) was full of US military planes with tons of aid.

Helicopters where loading and flying off into the northern areas. A good number of US and Pakistani helicopters are utilizing the soccer field across the street from the Murreee School to load aid and unload the injured and dead.

The noise of the helicopters so extremely low over the school has brought back memories in some of the children of the day they where attacked by terrorists and the army was searching the forest by helicopter. The earthquake has a few of the children still quite shaken but all are keenly aware of the devastation. There are plans for them to assist in direct aid to hospitals etc..

The road to Murree from Islamabad is jammed packed with trucks and cars overloaded with bedding and supplies trying to get to the northern areas. It rained day before yesterday and A LOT of people lost there lives and were injured on the roads… as if things were not bad enough.
