Namaste Friends,

We have received an urgent appeal from Mr. Dilraj Gill of the Om Welfare Organization inKhyber Pakhtunkhwa(KPK), Pakistan requesting emergency assistance for 23 Hindu families displaced from their homes by Pakistani military operations in Miram Shah, Waziristan. These Hindu Internally Displaced Persons (IDPS), who had been living in Miram Shah for generations, were forced to flee and walked 20 long hours with their women and children, before they found shelter in a Hindu temple in District Bannu, KPK.

The 23 Hindu families are extremely poor and were unable to bring any of their belongings with them prior to leaving their homes. They have now been living in the temple in Bannu for the past week. Although the local government and some Hindu activists are providing the families with food, they urgently need non-food items.

Attached is a list of required non-food items and the associated costs provided by Mr. Gill and the Om Welfare Organization. We need to come together as a community to provide emergency assistance to these displaced Hindus, who are in dire need.
