MALAYSIANS URGED TO HELP PAKISTAN'S QUAKE VICTIMS
KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 1 (Bernama) -- Pakistan High Commissioner to Malaysia Lt Gen (Rtd) Tahir Mahmud Qazi Friday appealed to generous Malaysians to provide food, medicines, tents and warm clothes to thousands of quake victims in his country.
Early Wednesday, the victims were made homeless when an earthquake struck
South Western Pakistan.
In a statement Friday, Tahir said the disaster left 300 dead, more than
15,000 people homeless and 2,000 houses destroyed.
He said the homeless were subjected to sub-zero temperature and lacked
shelter, food and clean drinking water.
Tahir said the Pakistan International Airlines had made special
arrangements to transport donations from Malaysians for distribution to the
victims.
