Survivors of the 7.7-magnitude earthquake that hit a remote region in Pakistan's province of Balochistan Tuesday wait in searing heat for government aid to arrive as more than 100,000 people have been left homeless by the deadly natural disaster that has killed at least 515 people.
Babar Yaqoob, the chief secretary of Baluchistan, gave the updated death toll Friday as he was touring the destroyed region of Awaran, where the earthquake struck on Tuesday.
