Annan warns of 'massive death' unless world gives more aid
The United Nations has appealed to the international community to step up aid to Pakistan if it wants to prevent a "second, massive wave of death", while international aid officials described the relief operation as one of the toughest the world has ever known. "We have never had this kind of logistical nightmare ever. We thought the tsunami was the worst we could get.
