This is a new island created by the massive earthquake in Pakistan

People have already started exploring the land which emerged out of the Arabian Sea yesterday.

A MASSIVE EARTHQUAKE in Pakistan yesterday killed 328 people (according to latest reports from provincial officials) and destroyed communities in the remote area of the southwest.

The 7.7 magnitude quake also created a new island off the country’s south coast.

Gwadar’s local government office issued photos of the new land today, showing people walking on what used to be part of the Arabian sea.

    That poor poor girl. That some people see fit to abuse her and send her hate mail is seriously disturbing.

    Totally agree – anyone who abuses a person that’s been through something like that should be prosecuted.

    Read her book some years ago. Very scary stuff. The dungeon he kept her in was so well hidden that if anything happened to him she would never have been found. An absolute madman. Such a brave girl.

    Best of luck to her. Must be awful to revisit the place you were captive. And be responsible for its upkeep. Keep on travelling xx

    In my experience most girls who have endured even similar to this ladys experience end up in special care with so many psychological and emotional disorders that they cant survive in the real world…..and for most there is no hope….

    There aren’t enough good things on this planet to happen to Natascha. She deserves every bit of happiness in her life after what she went through and I hope the rest of her life is filled with it.

    She should name and shame those who still give her a hard time starting with a hidden camera on a hand bag or something and as above most definitely prosecuted..

    A brave woman. I hope she has learnt to ignore the thoughtless people who treat her badly. They are not worth wasting energy on.
