Following the devastating Pakistan earthquake that shook the entire South Asia region on 8th October 2005, Tearfund and its partners have been continuously providing aid and support to the area. Now six months since the quake hit, Tearfund has reported a clear view of the situation in the areas it is working.
Across the affected region the Tearfund relief effort is supporting over 30,000 families - some 180,000 people, providing shelter kits, winterised tents, tools, stoves and cooking utensils, blankets and mattresses as well as warm clothes and medical assistance.
In the North West Frontier of Pakistan, and Indian Administered Kashmir, Tearfund partners were among the relief agencies closest to the earthquake area and they prioritised their staff and operations to help victims.
