Remember the Pakistani earthquake?

It was very easy to talk and rant about the tragedy of the earthquake when it first happened. But it is even easier to forget them now. Please do think of them now...

But the fact of the matter is that there are still thousands of people who are affected by the earthquake as this UN article reports:

An old, bearded man launched an angry tirade at aid agency officials who had come to visit a quake-displaced community living in tents in Muzaffarabad, the capital of Pakistani-administered Kashmir.

“We have had no water, no electricity for weeks,” he shouted. “There are no bathrooms and people are falling sick in the cold and rain.”

Nearly a year and a half after a devastating earthquake ripped through northwest Pakistan, survivors say that living in shelters, whether tented or pre-fabricated, can be unbearable at times...............

How you can help? Well for one thing please make dua. I did a quick online search and there arent any call of donations from the earthquake rebuilding ogranizations whose websites I checked. ( let me know if you know otherwise)
