Pakistan - India Earthquake : Pakistan Medical Association
A letter from Dr. Shafaq Yusuf of Karachi, Pakistan :
Dear friends
As you all know very well that disaster in its worst form ever has hit South Asia. Pakistan's Azad Kashmir is the worst hit area. Over 41,00 people according to unofficial reports have died – and there are areas still inaccessible where thousands of people buried under the rubble have not been counted in the official death toll as yet. We do not yet know what the final death toll would be.
The number of injured people is still greater. And due to after shocks, the hospitals have been evacuated as well. Patients are lying on the grounds. Doctors and other rescuers have been working non stop for over 50 hours. Dead bodies have started to rot, and epidemics may start to spread soon if action is not taken promptly.
People all over the country have stood up to the task, and everyone is doing their level best to help the victims.
This fax was sent today in the morning regarding the things that are needed according to one organization working in the Mansehra area. Of course the requirements given below are not sufficient to meet the needs of all the places affected, but still it is quite a lot, and these medicines and other materials are immediately needed. I request you to send as much help as you can, in whatever form, to us.
Kindly donate generously, because no one knows who might be needing help next.
May God bless those who have been affected,and help us all.
