PICTURES OF THE YEAR 2006 A Kashmiri earthquake survivor walks in the snow in the devastated village of Pieer Chanasi, about 25 km (16 miles) east of Muzaffarabad in Pakistan-administered Kashmir, January 1, 2006. The October 8 earthquake killed more than 73,000 people and left three million homeless. The Pakistani military and the international aid community have been rushing to help survivors, most of whom have stayed to try and rebuild their ruined homes in the mountains.
