Victims of Disasters in Pakistan
Donation protected
At 2:37 p.m in Karachi, Pakistan, a residential area known as Model Colony, was engulfed in flames as an Airbus A320 incoming flight from Lahore full of 99 passengers collapsed onto the homes of nearly a hundred innocent people.
It was only 1 minute and 44 seconds away from landing.
These passengers of Flight PK303, including 1 US citizen, children ranging from 5 to 7 years old, businessmen, grandmothers, and sons, were all coming in to enjoy the biggest celebration of the year with their loved ones.
At the time of the accident, families who had been at home fasting since before sunrise were excitedly getting their dinner ready as Ramadan was coming to a close, Eid Ul Fitr was hours away, and this was an especially joyful time of year.
Not only were the 99 passengers of the flight injured and killed, but there are so far nearly one hundred casualties being pulled out from underneath the disaster site by volunteers. From the entirety of the residents' homes to the parked cars of visitors on the street, nothing but rubble and ash was left of Model Colony.
As I sit here in California, I am grateful to have the immense privilege to spread awareness about this and equally heartbreaking disasters everyday, and to ask equally priviledged good people to help their brothers and sisters of this world, and to take action to even miniscually bless these distressed people with help they couldn't otherwise acquire as quickly and effortlessly as we can.
While they mourn the sudden loss of their friends, family members, neighbors, teachers, and friends,
help me in lifting a burden from their shoulders and in bringing continuous unity and peace to this major loss for mankind.
