Flood fury in Jammu &
Kashmir
HelpAge India moves in as
thousands left without water, food, shelter, or
medical supplies.
Urgent help required!
Jammu & Kashmir has been hit by massive floods and over 10
districts are badly affected, damaging homes, uprooting people and leaving them
stranded without food, shelter, or any medical help. HelpAge India has already
started to bring in emergency relief through its Mobile Medical Units reaching
urgently needed medicines and other medical needs. Other essential supplies are
also being rushed in.
This relief can only be scaled up with generous contributions
from individuals, corporates, or other organisations.
Apart from the health interventions through MMUs, HelpAge
India has also put together a locally relevant relief package consisting of
solar lights with mobile charging facility, tents, umbrellas, woolen overalls,
raincoats, hand-torches, waterproof bags, bed sheets, dry rations, packaged
drinking water, blankets, and sleeping bags.
This entire package meant for a family costs Rs 13,500.

forward to donate as many such packages as you can and ask your friends and relatives
