The earthquake in 2005 did indeed bring out a huge humanitarian effort, by Pakistani forces, and the foreign forces, and also the general population of Pakistan.

Countries from all over the world helped in logistics, food, water, shelters and everything. Pakistani people gave alot of things, clothes, books, money, food everything in rehabilitation centers and other hospitals and other places of the sort.

It was much appreciated. Contributions by each and every country were greatly appreciated.
