Much of the news these days have covered the massive humanitarian crisis in Pakistan, and rightly so. However a much smaller tragedy has been almost completely overlooked my the world: the floods in Leh
They have claimed more than 150 lives and several hundred are injured. Thousands have lost their homes. The infrastructure of the area (roads, communication systems) have suffered heavy damage and are in need of restoration.
The pictures below (courtesy of Indian Express) show the devastation suffered, and the efforts to clear it.
The plight of the Leh victims have so far gone pretty much unnoticed outside India, and even many Indian citizens are unaware of the scale of the tragedy there. The purpose of this thread is to raise awareness of this tragedy and to urge all to donate generously to help the victims, many who have lost everything they had.
I urge all Indian members to help raise awareness of this disaster, as it is not receiving the attention it deserves. And i request all members to donate generously to this noble cause.
