MUZAFFARABAD, Pakistan (AP) - Rescue workers on Friday abandoned the search for any survivors trapped in the rubble of last week's earthquake, and a top UN official warned that reconstruction of the devastated region will cost billions of dollars and take up to a decade.
Weather forecasters warned that heavy rains expected in the quake zone this weekend could disrupt efforts to provide food and shelter to an estimated two million people ahead of the harsh Himalayan winter.
