Immediate needs:
- Emergency Medical Care:
Many local hospitals are under-equipped to handle blast-related trauma. Surgical supplies and mobile trauma teams are urgently needed.
- Temporary Shelter & Warm Meals:
Families displaced in Kotli and Muzaffarabad are currently housed in makeshift tents with limited sanitation access.
- Water & Sanitation Kits:
Disruptions to piped water in Muridke and Bahawalpur.
- Mental Health Support:
Adults and children report high stress, insomnia, and disorientation. Psychosocial support must be integrated into response efforts.
In the early hours of May 6th 2025, a series of powerful explosions struck communities across eastern Pakistan and parts of Azad Kashmir. Entire neighbourhoods were devastated. Families were pulled from rubble. Places of worship and clinics were left in ruins.
31 people were killed, including women and at least 10 children. Over 46 others were injured, many suffering from life-threatening wounds. More than 120 families were forced from their homes, losing everything in a matter of minutes.
Emergency support is urgently needed in Bahawalpur, Muridke, Sialkot, Kotli and Muzaffarabad — the areas most affected. Medical supplies are running low. Local hospitals are struggling to cope. Families are living in makeshift shelters, without access to clean water.
