Annan warns against 'wave of death' in Pakistan
 UN Secretary General Kofi Annan on Wednesday made a dramatic appeal for urgent help from the world community for Pakistan to prevent a second massive wave of deaths in the wake of the recent earthquake. Annan told reporters that an estimated three million people were homeless with no blankets or tents to protect them from the merciless Himalayan winter. "That means a second, massive wave of death will happen if we do not step up our efforts now," he added.
