Sure is....looks like we are the only ones interested/concerned.

Heh, I am from NZ so there is definite concern here!

But I think for everyone else, NZ is just a pretty little country of no great importance??

Oz has sent over Rescue teams and doctors to help.

I'm in the U.S. and it is being mentioned quite often. The news from the uprisings in the middle east have been the higher priority, but it has been mentioned.

 

[purpledove]

I saw it on the news and a friend @ FB posted also a video coverage of the rescue mission being done for any survivors. I am hoping they find a lot of survivors. It's disheartening

 

[Zorak]

terrible news, so soon after the last one

Sure is....looks like we are the only ones interested/concerned.

It's the biggest story in the UK at the moment......well apart from Kerry Katona and Katie Price farting which the media have somed major obsession with for some strange reason.

 

[pjbleek]

it feels kind of like an Armageddon type of feel to the world...all the earthquakes and uprisings...

You can't compare Pakistan and NZ when it comes to aid. NZ is so far ahead of Pakistan it's not even funny. If they need the aid and request it the world will come through for them.
