A devastating earthquake struck Pakistan's Balochistan province early Wednesday morning. More than 300 people were killed while thousands of homeless survivors continue to be in danger, threatened by animals, cold weather and hunger. Initial estimates suggest around 40,000 people were displaced and 200 villages affected in the earthquake. This Fund will support immediate needs of the survivors and longer-term rebuilding efforts.
The GlobalGiving Relief Fund has been established to support the emergency relief work of organizations in the field. These organizations are currently assessing needs, and will provide updates as soon as available.
Total Funding Received to Date: $2,435
Remaining Goal to be Funded: $47,565
Total Funding Goal: $50,000
This project has provided additional documentation in a Microsoft Word file (projdoc.doc).
Assistance will be provided to thousands of survivors of the earthquake that need immediate assistance with shelter, blankets, drinking water, and communications.
I would like to appeal to the whole world for help. We need food, we need medicine. People need warm clothes, blankets.
