It is believed out of the 74,000 odd people that died following the recent earthquake in Pakistan, 37,000 were children.
The United Nations confirmed fears that the disaster had claimed a ‘lost generation.’
‘We estimate that half of the death casualties were children, but many more were injured,’ UNICEF representative for Pakistan Omar Abdi told the Integrated Regional Information Networks, a UN-funded news agency.
The 7.6-magnitude earthquake is confirmed to have killed nearly 74,000 people in Pakistan and more than 1,300 in India. However humanitarian groups estimate the toll to be 86,000 in Pakistan alone.
