"Rain Adds to Quake Victim's Misery" - Today, by Paul Wilson.

As if the world was not emotionally drained enough after dealing with hurricanes Rita and Katrina, a much worse (more life tolling) tragedy has happened in Pakistan. The area was hit with a 7.6 earthquake, and was completely unready for it; the death toll is now at a stunning 23,000. 50,000 confirmed injured, and over 2.5 million are left homeless. As if this is not bad enough, heavy rains and hail are now hitting the area and making relief efforts much harder, and making more people lose lives. This article stands out as my favorite of the week because it does the terribly unenviable job of being the bearer of bad news. It does so with poise and emotion however, delivering the news but giving it a human feel, not just rattling off stats. I found it exceptionally powerful, and my heart goes out to the victims of this awful tragedy.
