ICRC and Finnish and Norwegian Red Cross field hospital in Muzaffarabad, Pakistan – The massive earthquake of October 2005 in Pakistan killed more than 73,000 people in Kashmir, flattening entire villages and causing enormous damage to roads and water systems. Following the earthquake, the ICRC immediately mobilized a medical team to establish this field hospital in Muzaffarabad. By the time of its closure and handover of the tents and equipment to local authorities in February 2006, 2,300 people had been operated on and/or treated and 80 births had taken place in the hospital.
