areas where no one has yet to come see and assess the damage. as you can see behind me these villagers are trying to do everything on their own. they're trying to dig through the rubble in the hope that they'll find someone there, someone who is missing. it's quite significant, and now the most important these people don't have any shade, no water, food, all their belongings are gone. the villagers are telling us that 500 bags of wheat, they can't even find that. importantedly now the relief effort has to be swift. it has to be comprehensive if they're going to save more lives because many people are sick, and many people are still in the state of shock. >> with us is the pakistan

management authority. he told me that it's been difficult to reach the worst affected areas. >> the losses are huge because mostly mud houses and the majority of those have collapsed in the affected region. but we have 2100 households that need relief. we have medical teams. field hospitals have been established in addition to the hospital that has been there, and we've got a number of other hospitals in the neighboring districts as well that have been converted from huts. and we have helicopters and ambulances. no amount of relief or responses is ever sufficient, but in areas like the one we are discussing becomes even more difficult. yes, there was a delay in responding, but that was not

because of some other reason. it is because the area happens to be very far from the area. if you send a truck with relief and supplies it takes over eight areas to get to that area. it's for that reason that it has taken awhile. we have not called off the rescue. but there were no concrete structures that collapsed. the only need was to get to the area. what we're doing now is we're trying to mobilize even more medical support. the number of teams that are still on their way, we've sent in the medicine, and we're sending a little more. and then the other relief items that we are we concentrating on are food and non-food items. food ham percent of differen ha.

the former army officer said there could have been military logic in using heavy weaponry. >> you get to a point that you're not ready to surrender but you must deal with them. they could booby trap other people that they're holding hostage, we shall have damage. >> reporter: what was a place where the middle class would spent money on fashion, food and entertainment now stands as a symbol of horror. that horror is still playing out on faces of those searching for their families and friends. scores of people are still missing. the total number of dead could rise above is hundred. aal-shabab picked its target carefully: this is a sikh woman and her grandson. with more questions of how the
