South Asia Earthquake II

Today is Blog Quake Day. Please visit Desipundit and see the different ways you can help. The situation is very bad and a month from now it could be a lot worse when winter sets in.
From Strategy Page:
Some 1,400 people died in Indian Kashmir, because of the recent quakes, and over 140,000 were made homeless. Across the border in Pakistani Kashmir, where the earthquake originated, over 50,000 died, over 70,000 were seriously injured and over three million are homeless.
The number of deaths is horrible but think about the number of homeless. If they can’t get to safety or relief isn’t able to reach them before the Himalayan winter begins, the initial death toll will pale in comparison.
