“Sixty-three days after the devastating earthquake in Pakistan, a survivor has been rescued from the rubble. Naqsha Bibi, a 45-year-old Kashmiri woman, was buried alive in the Kamsar refugee camp just north of Muzaffarabad on Oct. 8; residents of the camp found her this week as they were digging in search of missing bodies. Bibi is receiving fluids and her condition is improving, although she weighs less than 60 pounds. ‘Medical science will hardly accept it,’ said Dr. Abdul Hamid, one of the attending physicians, ‘but you know miracles do happen in this world.’”
