IMRAN KHAN PARTNERS WITH THE CNM RELIEF TEAM

Since the Earthquake which hit South Asia on the 8th October this year, Dr Nadeem Iqbal and the CNM Relief Team have visited Pakistan, Kashmir and other affected surrounding areas helping the victims of this terrible disaster. They have so far managed to raise over £60,000, treat thousands of people, set up shelter and have provided food, gas cookers, blankets and homeopathic medicines to many of the injured and homeless families.

During Dr Iqbal’s most recent visit to Pakistan he met with Imran Khan, former Pakistan Cricket Team Captain, Politician and Chancellor of the University of Bradford, who has strong links to South Asia and who established the Shaukat Khannum Memorial Hospital, the largest hospital for cancer patients in Asia. Imran has established many medical camps with food and shelter in earthquake affected areas and has over 50 medical doctors working out there. The CNM are pleased to announce that Imran will be working with Dr Iqbal and the CNM Relief Team to give even more support to the victims. During the next week, their partnership will have set up four small tent villages together, meaning housing for around 600 people. For the future the team has planned to reconstruct the destroyed schools there with Imran’s collaboration.

Since disaster struck over a month ago, hundreds of thousands of people have been found dead and more than 3.5 million have been left homeless. Many villages have been completely wiped out and schools and buildings are still full of unclaimed bodies. It is feared that the death toll will rise if homeless families are left to bear the cold in the rapidly approaching mountainous winter months.



According to the President of Pakistan, what is need most are food, tents, blankets and medicines.

• FEED A FAMILY OF FOUR FOR ONE MONTH: £100.00
• PROVIDE 10 BLANKETS: £70.00
• PROVIDE ONE TENT HOUSE (HOUSES 7 PEOPLE): £110.00

Please donate what you can. If you want to help we offer you two options:

• Visit South Asia yourself to help those in need
• Donate funds to save the victims' lives
