Over the last week none of us had had much sleep or much in the way of good food. We had been re-supplied from Islamabad with food and water – which gave us a bit more energy but exhausted and dirty – none of us had washed for a week – no running water – we left our camp site…
And the media village…
And headed back to Islamabad. We could have gone the night before but it was getting dark and we had received word that the roads were unsafe. Not only because of the earthquake and landslides but because a number of trucks coming up had been hijacked and the drivered severely beaten. Before we left we made sure that until we reached Muree, Badsha was not to stop for anyone.
Five hours later we arrived back in Islamabad – a world away from the damp, grey cold devastation such a short distance away.
