Assistance for the Nepal earthquake
Last Saturday, April 25, in Kathmandu, Nepal, the earthquake that struck the historic city has so far claimed 3,300 lives.
The reports received so far by relief groups also suggest that communities surrounded by the mountains are devastated and in a desperate struggle to survive.
Saturday’s earthquake had a magnitude of 7.8 on the Richter scale, spreading terror from Kathmandu to the small villages at the foot of Mount Everest, triggering avalanches that buried part of a base camp of foreign climbers who were preparing for the climb. At least 18 have died and 61 people have been injured so far.
We are in constant contact with Amurt in Nepal, where in Raitakhor we have one of our schools that we support frequently, and we will receive news soon to keep you informed.
Amurt – Portugal has taken action by promoting a fundraiser to enable help for the rescue teams and those affected by the catastrophe, with the possible sending of human resources.
We appeal for your collaboration by sending a donation to the NIB:
