Nepal’s recent earthquakes are the worst disaster in the country’s history with more than 8500 people dead with many still missing, thousands injured. The UN estimates 8 million people affected with 2.8 million people displaced.

One estimate suggests 8000 Rohinga refugees (mainly from Burma) are floating in the Andaman Sea (between Bangladesh and Malaysia) in a desperate state of hunger while no country takes care of them as yet.

Doctors without Borders/Medicins Sans Frontier (MSF) are one of the few international organisations which are delivering care to the stranded Rohinga people while Disaster Emergency Committee (DEC) with an impressive track record of responding to disasters worldwide, have launched a massive campaign to raise money for the earthquake victims of Nepal.

Edge Hill University’s first year Geography students periodically raise similar campaigns of ‘Fast for Disaster Funds’ with their tutor Dr Tasleem Shakur. Last year they raised around £900 for the Philippines disaster. This year while the students are back to home for their summer break, Tasleem launched a similar campaign with his colleagues in IT department joined by Jenny Jordan and Mark Wild with a fasting pledge (sunrise to sunset without food or water for around 16 hours a day) of at least 5 days between 17 and 26 May 2015. They expect others will either join such fasting campaign or donate money. 

Please donate money to the Disaster Emergency Committee (DEC) here to help the desperate earthquake affected people of Nepal.
