The International Committee of the Red Cross ‘ICRC’ Sunday launched an appeal of 7.8 million dollars for the affected people of Pakistan`s southwest.
It said that 20 to 30 thousands people have been affected and some 4000 mud houses destroyed in Ziarat district, some 60 kilometers from Quetta, the provincial capital.
The ICRC said that its priority is to provide tents to the affected people as winter has already approached and the people are living outside houses due to fear of aftershocks.
The ICRC said it is in contact with Pakistani authorities and other relief groups to coordinate relief activities.
The UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF), which conducted a preliminary assessment with the Pakistan government, expressed its concern for “the urgent needs of children and women”.
UNICEF said 108,000 people have been affected by the quake, 50 percent of whom are children.
It said that about 12,000 people in Ziarat lacked safe water and were dependent on supplies from water trucks.
