Earthquake Rocks Pakistan, Tremors Felt in Lahore and Islamabad

A powerful earthquake that struck Pakistan on June 13, 2023, caused at least two fatalities and several injuries. The epicentre of  earthquake is not that far from Lahore City. All throughout Pakistan, including the capital city of Islamabad, the neighbouring areas, and adjacent India, tremors were felt.

The earthquake severely damaged Lahore and destroyed several buildings. Rescue workers are still searching the debris for survival. Although a few buildings were damaged in the Islamabad earthquake, nobody was hurt or killed.

The recent earthquake in Pakistan was the strongest to occur there. It happens as the nation is already dealing with a serious economic crisis. For assistance with the relief effort, the government has made a request for donations from outside.

Here are some of the most recent earthquake updates:

• Twenty people have already died and several more have been wounded.

• A Lot of people left their homes due to earthquake.

• In the impacted areas, the government has issued an emergency declaration.

• The victims are receiving food, water, and medical supplies from international humanitarian organisations.

• The earthquake serves as a reminder of Pakistan's frequent seismic activity. The country is located in the "Hindu Kush Seismic Belt," one of the seismically active regions of the globe.

The Pakistani government has advised citizens to maintain their composure and heed the authorities' orders. Whatever the earthquake magnitude is, it is important to remember that Pakistan has a good history of surviving natural disasters.

Here are some ideas which can help earthquake victims:

• Donate to an organisation which is assisting those in need in the affected areas.

• Offer your time to the relief effort as a volunteer.

• Inform people about the earthquake and the need for assistance.

Each little bit counts. I appreciate your help.
