Shelter work slowing down?
The International Organisation for Migration (IOM) coordinator Jean-Philipe Bourgeois said many villagers had not started preparing a shelter from the ruins of their destroyed homes because they thought if they rebuilt they would not get compensation the government is promising victims.
“They had heard that for every destroyed house they would get 25,000 rupees ($420),” Bourgeois said on Tuesday in the hard-hit Neelum Valley, northeast of Muzaffarabad, the ruined capital of Pakistani Kashmir. “So they thought if they started to rebuild they were not going to get the money,” he said.
