Jon Stephenson: Images Of Post-Quake Pakistan

Just prior to Christmas New Zealand journalist Jon Stephenson, assisted by an Asia New Zealand media award, toured earthquake devastated Pakistan. Accompanying Mr Stephenson on the two week trip through the often fought over and now ruined province of Kashmir was BFM host Rebecca Wright. During his travels Mr Stephenson learned from aid workers that the response to the earthquake had been paltry, in terms of both foreign aid and media interest, in relation to the media saturation and billions pledged in Tsunami aid.

Donations to assist quake survivors can be made can be made through World Vision:
