Kuala Lumpur : Pakistan High Commissioner to Malaysia Lt Gen (Rtd) Tahir Mahmud Qazi 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.
Tahir, in a statement on Friday, 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.
He said those wishing to donate in cash or kind could contact the embassy’s First Secretary Rukhsana Afzaal at 03-21647014 for more information.
