Following the recent earthquake in Asia, the team at veryBritishsubjects would like to offer our sympathies to the many people affected by this disaster, both living here and of course overseas.
.
This earthquake has wiped out entire villages and over 38,000 people are dead, with many more injured and without shelter. Pakistan is worst hit, but parts of India and Afghanistan are also affected. Obviously, there are many British subjects who themselves or their families originate from this part of the world.
.
If anyone wishes to offer financial support, the Disasters Emergency Committee is once again collecting and distributing aid.
.
The helpline is 0870 60 60 900 and donations can also be made online at www.dec.org.uk
.
The Disasters Emergency Committee is formed of 13 different charities and aid agencies: ActionAid, British Red Cross, CAFOD, Care International UK, Concern, Christian Aid, Help the Aged, Islamic Relief, Merlin, Oxfam, Save the Children, Tearfund and World Vision.
.
Please give what you can today.
