The most important things we need right now are tents and winter clothes, since we are two weeks away from the first snowfall and after six weeks there will be snow permently on the ground until April. Around 3 million people have been made homeless.

We also need medicines since about a million casualtys are expected and maybe even more than that. I have been volunteering and while there is no shortage now, there is expected to be one in the next few weeks. They have pulled all people with medical degrees even shrinks who have not touched a needle since med school onto medical relief.

Cash Donations will also be well appreciated.

To Mods; apologize for placing such a thread, but I must say that I was compelled by necessity.
