Donate to Kashmir Earthquake Victims

Consider donating money to the victims of the Kashmir earthquake. From a UN news report:

“For the next few days and weeks, we literally remain in the life-saving phase,” Mr. Annan said, referring to the injured in acute need of medical assistance, the more than 3 million left homeless, the thousands in towns and villages cut off by quake damage from the rest of the world, all while the harsh Himalayan winter approaches inexorably. [...]

“It is essential to note that only a few weeks remain before the arrival of winter. Thousands of injured, dehydrated and undernourished survivors sheltering in fields in makeshift shelters or in the open air in temperatures below zero are likely to die unless they can be reached before the harsh mountain winter sets in,” OCHA [the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs] warned.

Current number of confirmed casualties, over 50,000; injured over 70,000.
