Hundreds of thousands of people have no
roof over their heads and are lacking every day basic requirements including
food, water, clothes, medicine, blankets etc. Dead bodies need to be cleared in
order to prevent the spread of disease. Accommodation must be arranged for
those who have been made permanently homeless.
Minhaj Welfare Foundation UK has started
to send Emergency Relief Aid to the devastated areas. The scale of the disaster is so huge and complex to manage because it has affected 12 countries in total.
Minhaj Welfare Foundation UK is making
this global appeal in order to assist those affected by the disaster as soon as
possible with all basic needs in order to ensure their survival.
Please donate immediately so that loss
of life and misery can be brought to an end as soon as possible.
