The first of the patients, Aribba Abbasi, a three-year-old girl, was suffering a broken thigh from when her home collapsed on her. The other, Faisal Hussain, an eight-year-old boy, had been caught in a collapsed school and had a bad gash on his ankle. Both had already received treatment but needed aftercare.

The official quake toll currently states that more than 53,000 are dead and 75,000 injured.
