A number of aid agencies have voiced concern over the desperate conditions still facing thousands of survivors of last year's South Asian earthquake.

Sunday marks the first anniversary of the quake, which killed an estimated 80,000 people in Pakistan and Indian-controlled Kashmir and left 3.5 million more homeless.

Oxfam has criticised the Pakistani government's slow response to elements of the crisis.

It told a BBC reporter that officials had prevented it from helping survivors in many isolated villages.
