[edit] Tents, Blankets and Warm Clothes

Thousands of traumatised villagers have spent an eighth night in freezing conditions in Pakistan's earthquake affected Northwestern region as local authorities appealed for money and tents to help them through the earthquake that razed thousands of buildings. For more information about purchasing tents and sending to Pakistan, please see Tents section of Resources.

NOTE:Although, PIA is carrying relief goods for free to affected areas in Pakistan however, PIA receives these goods only through Pakistani embassy or registered NGOs. So, it wont solve the problem if you just drop these items at some PIA office. Please contact Pakistani Embassy or consulates in your respected places. Tents are currently being purchased in bulk from Beijing but if you find good quality tents anywhere in the world, donot hesitate to buy it and handover to PIA through any means. For a 4x4m, water-proof good quality tent cost in the range of $50 to $65 normally but before buying please ask about the space availability by PIA. More information can be found at Resources. Blankets, warm clothes and medicines are other badly needed items.

[edit] Medicines

Please view the list of medical supplies required and send them to Red Crescent Islamabad (PIA and all couriers in Pakistan have the address; please see here for more info) for onward aid to affected areas. Some of these will not be found. Pyodine has been out of stock at major areas since August (Princoo needed it too), but spirit being flammable is too risky to be sent. Please share this information with as many people as you can. Some of these things are dead expensive and may be difficult to purchase at an individual level so get as much support as you can.
