Survivors of a massive bomb attack on a shrine in southwest Pakistan that killed dozens of people are still suffering the horror after families were ripped apart.
The blast, later confirmed to be the work of a teenage suicide bomber, hit male and female worshippers as they were dancing and chanting at the shrine of the Sufi saint Shah Noorani, some 750 kilometres (460 miles) south of Quetta, the provincial capital of restive Balochistan province.
The attack killed 54 and wounded more than 105 and was the fourth deadliest in Pakistan this year.
Many are still missing with the families being clueless as how to search for them.
