Pakistan India Earthquake Appeal
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Saturday morning, a massive 7.6-magnitude earthquake struck parts of Pakistan
and India. So far, at least 30,000 lives have been lost - a number that's
expected to rise as the days go on. More than 5 million people have been
affected by this disaster. Homes and entire villages were leveled by the
earthquake and following aftershocks.
CARE is assessing the situation and will bring relief to survivors as quickly
as possible - like food, water, blankets and medicine to stave off hunger, cold
and the outbreak of disease. But we need your help. Please give now to support
CARE's assessment and response efforts.
Destroyed roads and mudslides make land travel next to impossible.
Communications outages compound the difficulty. As of Monday morning, officials
estimated 30-40 percent of those areas affected by the quake had yet to be
visited.
More than 2 million people have lost everything. Women and children are
sleeping in the open, in near-freezing temperatures - winter is fast
approaching and they need shelter and food immediately.
Please donate today, and send this message to anyone you think can help.
Millions of lives depend on your assistance.
On behalf of the people we serve, in Pakistan, India and all around the world,
you have our sincerest gratitude.
Peter D. Bell
CARE President
