HOPE - a health NGO in karachi, plans to provide medical aid to the earthquake affectees in different districts of Balochistan. This earthquake has killed at least 327 people and left thousands more injured and homeless in a remote region of southwestern Pakistan. More than 300,000 people have been affected over a total of six districts - Awaran, Kech, Gwadar, Panjgur, Chaghi and Khuzdar. Many houses are flattened and thousands of people are spending nights in the open.
HOPE has previously been involved in providing emergency relief activities to individuals affected by natural catastrophes. Such as, in 2005 earth quake of Kashmir, in 2007 cyclones and floods in Interior Sindh and Balouchistan, in 2008 earthquake of Balouchistan, 2010 and 2011 flood in Sindh. It plans to reach out to those who have been majorly affected by this disaster and help them in whatever way possible to get them back to their routine life.
It is feared the death toll could rise once other areas are reached. The number of wounded is reportedly more than 440. Therefore, it is requested to support HOPE in its endeavors to help those who need it the most by providing medical aid, team of doctors, food relief, shelter, tents etc.
