I am extremely sorry for all the agony that the people of India and their relatives all over the world are going through. This is a call to all of you to unite and join in for helping out with money, clothes, food, medication and physical help where you can. Such a tragedy does not only affect the people who die, but countless others. Please join in and contribute to this.
Many thousands are unaccounted for.
An estimated 50,000 are injured. Offers for supply of clothes, blankets, and tents will be accepted if they can be airlifted to Ahmedabad. The few hospitals that were not severely damaged are operating at full capacity. The Indian Government reports that the epicenter was about 12 miles northeast of Bhuj. The death toll so far in Bhuj is estimated at 10,000.
