Asia Earthquake

Despite poor weather conditions and difficult terrain, Islamic Relief aid workers continue to work in 300 villages in four of the worst-affected districts of Kashmir.

Around 260,000 earthquake survivors have benefited from IR's projects in shelter, food security, health, water, education and livelihood.

A Slow Recovery

According to studies by the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank, around $3.5 US billion will be needed to recover from the damage wreaked by the quake.

At least 2.5 million people now live in tents or emergency shelters. Another 350,000 to 400,000 people will spend the winter at high altitudes where they will need supplies of food and shelter materials to survive the winter.

Most of the 2.5 million survivors will need food assistance in the coming months.
