Well not really, they're just less able to react to natural disasters due to lack of government resources. Afterall, Australia is experience massive flooding but they have a good government that reacted quickly and the number of deaths was low, despite the vast property damage suffered. Compare this to say... Hurricane Katrina, the Tsunami in southeast Asia, massive earthquakes in China (Sichuan and Tibet regions)...
Australia also had the benefits of first world infrastructure, and having a relatively dispersed population. The floods cover a huge area, but one with a mostly low population.
The fact this is remote means it shouldn't be as devastating as Haiti, I suppose.

Several elements of the Taliban are taking territory in Pakistan still, and it's their man route that they use to take arms and personnel into Afghanistan.
Note that I didn't say Terrorists. I consider Al Qaeda to be terrorists, the Taliban are just regular run of the mill scum, more like an Afghani Mafia if you will.
The TTP (Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan) are terrorists, which is whom I am referring to. The Taliban is technically a government in exile/remnant army/civil war faction.
The main route is in what is known as FATA, sandwiched between Afghanistan and Khyber-Paktuhnkwa. Balochistan is the secondary route for a variety of reasons.
And note I didn't say they will permanently killed, I'm just saying they lost some guys too in that earthquake. Unlikely with this one. I fully agree that the terrorists have full movement throughout Pakistan.

They just can't get a break, can they?
