    Hundreds of thousands of people have no roof over their heads and are lacking every day basic requirements including food, water, clothes, medicine, blankets etc. Dead bodies need to be cleared in order to prevent the spread of disease. Accommodation must be arranged for those who have been made permanently homeless.

    Minhaj Welfare Foundation UK has started to send Emergency Relief Aid to the devastated areas. The scale of the disaster is so huge and complex to manage because it has affected 12 countries in total.

    Minhaj Welfare Foundation UK is making this global appeal in order to assist those affected by the disaster as soon as possible with all basic needs in order to ensure their survival.
