The United Nations and British military launched a huge airlift of food and tents to earthquake survivors high in Pakistan's mountains on Wednesday as Islamabad appealed to the world for more money. Two Royal Air Force Chinook transport helicopters hovered low over an air strip on the outskirts of the ruined city of Muzaffarabad while a British military team on the ground hooked up nets filled with the first of hundreds of tonnes of supplies.
