Services for Earthquake Hit Area

On October 8, 2005, 8.50 PST, a magnitude occurred in Paksitan, Afghanishtan, and India. The earthquake epicenter was located 1000 kilometers north-northeast of Islamabad, along a fault associated with the Indian subcontinent moving northward at a rate 40 mm per year colliding with the Eursian continent.

The 2005 earthquake is arguably the most debiliatating natural disaster in Pakistan’s history, Pakistan administered Kashimir known as Azad Jammu & Kashmir, and the Easten Districts of the North West Frontier Province bore the full force of the earthquake in terms of numbe rof lives lost, injuries sustained, and destruction of infrastrucre and economic assets.

According to Government of Pakistan figures, as of November 3, approximately 73,000 people had died and more than 70,000 had been severely injured or disabled. Over 2.8 million persons have been left without shelter and it is estimated that about 2.3 million person are without adequate food.

A nation united characterizes the strong civil society response throughout Pakistan and among expatriates living abroad. Doctors from Radiology department, also served the suffering people in three units, especially made for such patients in emergency department for couple of months.
