The Australian Red Cross says PAKISTAN is still in urgent need of funds to recover from last year's earthquake.

The Red Cross is re-launching its 'Asia Quake' appeal six months after an earthquake that killed 73-thousand people in PAKISTAN.

The Red Cross has raised more than 8-million dollars to date but says another 250-million dollars is needed to fund the recovery stage.

The recovery plans will focus on strengthening health care services, increasing sanitation facilities and rebuilding community facilities.
