Imagine
spending a night in an open field in the
cold of the northern areas with no food
and water!!! Shivering weather, rain and
gripping cold!!! No clothes, no shelter,
no food, no medicines!! Imagine corpses
of your loved ones lying in-front of you
in the open!!!
Isn't it
really hard to imagine? Certainly it is.
But unfortunately hundreds of thousands
of Pakistanis have to actually go
through this situation and they are
nothing but helpless out there.
Therefore it our responsibility now to
help them, help another human beings
from dying as your cooperation can help
save lives.
On 8th
October 2005 a major earthquake with
a magnitude of 7.6, at 0350 GMT, shook
cities and villages across the south
Asian subcontinent “wiping out" several
villages in Pakistan and leading to
fears that the death toll could run into
thousands. The earthquake was centered
in forest-clad mountains of Pakistani
Kashmir, near the Indian border, about
95 km (60 miles) northeast of Islamabad.
Officials
said heavy damage was expected in
northern Pakistan, but details were
difficult to obtain because telephone
lines were down and mobile networks
overwhelmed. Nothing was working but as
soon as television channels gain access
to the sites stuck by the Earthquake
harsh reality came in front. Almost
everything that the earthquake touched
got eliminated. The death toll began as
500, then 2000 and now it has crossed
even 100,000 plus. This tragic
earthquake of Pakistan result in lost of
lives and shelter less victims, students
are trapped under the collapsed
structure of schools, thousands of
peoples have been killed on Saturday
morning by the killer quake, while
hundreds of thousands are injured and
left homeless under pillar less blue
roof. People are trapped under rubbles
in collapsed houses and buildings and
their loved ones outside can only hope
that they get our alive for them...
Hence, its
time for us to pray and to act as
quickly as possible. Donate as much as
possible coz we surely cannot bring back
the death but we can surely give a
better life to the once left.
