As-salamu 'Alaykum (Peace be upon you)
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Next year I will be running The Vitality Big half Marathon (13.1 miles) on behalf of Penny Appeal for their Emergency response campaign. This project aims to fund the ground work in countries in providing relief to help save and heal precious lives.Your donations will help support Penny Appeal to respond quickly and effectively to these emergencies.
🚨KASHMIR EARTHQUAKE🚨
37 people have been killed and over 400 injured in Pakistan-administered Kashmir, after a 5.8 Richter earthquake tore through the area just hours ago. The number of people who are being identified as injured or at risk is rising hour by hour.
Penny Appeal are in Mirpur City right now, where roads have been split, buildings destroyed and thousands have felt the tremors and feared for their lives.
It is likely that the area will suffer dangerous aftershocks in the next 24 hours. Our ability to act fast and protect lives now is absolutely critical.
Penny Appeal are currently providing disaster response and support in other areas, such as:
- Syria, where 60% of hospitals are closed and 70% of all people need urgent humanitarian aid.
- Lebanon and Turkey, where Syrian refugees are battling to survive.
- Yemen, which is experiencing the worst famine the world has seen in this century.
- Palestine, including Gaza, where people are living amongst terrifying conflict.
- Bangladesh, where Rohingyan refugees who have fled persecution need urgent support.
- Indonesia, helping re-build homes and lives after a powerful earthquake hit Lombok.
- Areas affected by the Famine in East Africa, such as Somalia, South Sudan, Ethiopia and Kenya.
- Mozambique and Malawi, where 1.8 million people have been devastated by Cyclone Idai.
Please donate as much as you can and share with your family and friends.
Thank you for your donations in advance :)
