A 5.8-magnitude earthquake struck southern Mirpur district of Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) on 24 September, leaving at least 25 persons, including women and children, dead and around 400 others injured, many of them seriously.

We will therefore be raising funds to meet the immediate needs of those affected by this disaster.
