I'm just surprised that a natural disaster of this magnitude with tens of thousands estimated as killed, many of those being school children, has attracted so little comment or attention from people on this forum considering that events such as Hurricane Katrina resulted in very long threads with an outpour of sympathy and support. May be it is just a lull on the forum?

My thoughts and prayers are with the injured and the families of the victims of this natural disaster. Hopefully the world can come together and act quickly to help alleviate the suffering in the region of Azad Kashmir and Indian controlled Kashmir. Hopefully some lessons have been learned from all of the other natural disasters the world has experience of very recent times.

This is personal for me as my wifes family originate from that region and we have many relatives and family members there. I know of one person here in High Wycombe who has lost 30 members of his family due to the disaster. All I can do is pray and donate what I can.
