Tent villages

All photos by Marianne Preus Jacobsen, Norwegian Church Aid (NCA)-ACT.


Photo 1: During a week-long visit to earthquake-affected zones in Pakistan, Atle Sommerfeldt (left), general secretary of ACT member Norwegian Church Aid, visited tent villages that have been established to house people whose homes were destroyed.

Photo 2: During a week-long visit to earthquake-affected zones in Pakistan, Atle Sommerfeldt (second from left, with glasses), general secretary of ACT member Norwegian Church Aid, visited the Shohal Najaf tent village, 9 km from Balakot, where he met with earthquake survivors who are now living in temporary shelters in the village. Sommerfeldt says of the man he is pictured speaking to: "This man told me that he had left his house after it was completely destroyed, and taken his family to the tent village. They have to stay here because they have lost everything."

Photo 3: Children living in a tent village in Pakistan that was established after the October 8 earthquake. During a week-long visit to earthquake-affected zones in Pakistan, Atle Sommerfeldt, general secretary of ACT member Norwegian Church Aid, visited some of these tent villages.
