Kashmir Flood Disaster Relief

About the cause:

Kashmir valley has faced one of the worst natural disasters.

On 4th of Sept 2014 incessant rains, landslides and floods suddenly changed the lives of millions of people in Kashmir. Hundreds of villages along with the state’s capital city (Srinagar) were submerged by the flood waters. Over a million people have been displaced and many stranded due to flood waters. The situation was so grim for the first few days with no outside support due to a complete blackout of communication and utility services. People were stranded on roof-tops for days before being rescued. The magnitude of this disaster is so huge that it will take decades to rebuild this society.

Presently a large number of the people are without easy access to clean water, food, shelter, electricity and other basic essentials. Post-flood diseases have already started showing-up and the availability of medical help is still very limited due to complete destruction of hospitals as well as other medical facilities. Basic drugs and vaccines for the preventable diseases are lacking.

There is an urgent need for clean water, food, shelter and access to medicines.

Any support from people like you will make a difference in the lives of these people. Help through your donations will be highly appreciated. The purpose of these donations will be to provide medication; clean water, food and temporary accommodation to the affected families.

Please help us make this possible, and with your support we have an opportunity to make some difference in the lives of people impacted by this natural disaster.
