WE PETITION THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION TO:
Increase financial and humanitarian relief to earthquake stricken Nepal with a pledge of $100 million+ to help rebuild.
An earthquake of 7.8 magnitude hit Nepal on April 25 followed by another devastating 7.3 earthquake on May 12th. To date, there have been well over 100 aftershocks.
The death toll has risen above 8,000 in addition to hundreds of thousands other injured, displaced and made homeless. Several thousand others have been impacted by ensuing landslides.
The aftermath of these events is about to create an additional humanitarian crisis. Several hundred thousand people are threatened: The risk of a potential epidemic crisis may be inevitable. The lack of safe drinking water, food, and shelter will continue to be major issues. There are also growing threats of an increase in human trafficking due to the thousands of displaced families and particularly children.
