On October 8, a 7.6-magnitude earthquake struck South Asia effectively destroying entire towns and villages. Due to the severe cold weather, lack of shelter, and lack of urgent medical attention, the tragedy wreaked by this disaster continues. As of October 28:
? 79,000 confirmed dead in Pakistan; 1,500 dead in India
? Over 15,000 are believed to be school children.
? Over 74,000 injured
? Over 3 million homeless in Pakistan
? 10,000 children at risk of dying in the next 2 weeks from hypothermia
? 100,000 survivors at risk of dying in 4 weeks
**These numbers will rise significantly in the next weeks as winter sets in**
Join our vigil so our individual voices can be one loud message of support, hope andaction. THEY STILL NEED US -- WE MUST NOT ABANDON THEM
