The image above shows mass burial of Shias killed in a bomb attack in Quetta, Pakistan on February 20.

An estimate puts the number of Shia killed in Pakistan due to sectarian violence at 2700 and those injured at 4900. For Iraq, estimates are higher where at least 5000 Iraqi Shias died in bombings and shootings (source:AFP).

Lest we forget this atrocity, IUS's Martyrs Appeal for Pakistan and Iraq supports the victims and/or their families.

Past Martyrs Appeal money has gone to:

-Specialist medical treatment for a shooting victim

-Specialist medical equipment bought

-Paid maintenance grant for a widow

-Funded education after disability caused by attack limited options
