@SK, I have asked a friend (Nizar Noor) to get the updates on this and also share some assessment on the damage and things the people need there.
Following is shared by Parapilot on Shimshal thread, Shimshal was already a very remote area and people there lost live stocks due some changes in the climate in this winter, after this disaster Shimshal sounds like the remotest area & I would also like to push people to visit that beautiful valley as tourists are bread and butter for people up there and they are no coming from outside the country due to the current situation

parapilot[/B];2100520]Heart breaking to see the suffering of the people of Gojal and upper regions. We cannot control the nature but sure can help the people by providing all the support we can. Yesterday, on the way back from office and our information minister was on radio. One guy from Gojal called and said that they are not having any help from government. Initially there was a heli service but now it is gone. The boats are there but they operate at their will. Food has become a scarcity now and is available at a very high price.
The reply from our minister was, we know what is happening there. Shortage of food is not there, 8-10 boats and same numbers of Heli are there too.
Like he was there personally and have seen all this with his own eyes and the resident of that area is just lying........................
