Victims of Earthquake Needs Your Help!

All Pakistan Trade Union Federation shocked the damages and death increase of hundred thousands people of the Pakistan after an atrocious disaster hit Pakistan on Saturday morning, October 8, 2005.

This message calls for solidarity from all the organizations all over the world, asking them to contribute to the "APTUF Earthquake Relief Fund" it has set up to help provide victims with medicines, tents, blankets, food, drinking water and clothes.

The figures are stunning: the death toll may exceed 50,000 at the time we are writing.  Thousands of children are still buried in the debris of their schools. About four millions people have been affected by the earthquake. Many roads are still blocked.


People crying with pain and with other lines and unconscious or the appalling scenes that greet one in the hospitals after the huge earthquake that hit the country on Saturday October 8th, 2005.


To help the victimize people, APTUF held an emergency meeting on October 9th, 2005. The federation expressed concern that the government seems to have no policy to deal with the crisis and is failed to provide the earthquake victims with necessary and prompt assistance.

APTUF has called for international solidarity. Meanwhile, it has resolved to ask all its members and office bearers to donate the equivalent of one day's earnings to the "APTUF Earthquake Relief Fund". It has mobilized its members to establish camps in NWFP and Azad Kashmir and affected provinces to help the victims.



On behalf of All Pakistan Trade Union Federation, we express our deepest sympathy for those families that have lost loved ones in the earthquake. 

 We request all people and organizations to kindly send tents, clothes, food, medicines, blankets and their donations to:
