[quote][blue]Below is quite useful information about relief organizations that was sent to me by a friend.[/blue] Earthquake Relief Information The following is a list of organizations and groups working to provide aid to people affected by the 7.6-magnitude earthquake that hit the northern part of Pakistan and India on Saturday, 8th October.

If you know of any initiative not listed here, please e-mail its details to ameel@insanityworks.org and we'll add it to this page. Thanks. More earthquake information sources below.
