Though Karachi was not affected but I'm really worried as I have many relatives in Lahore and Islamabad. I hope there is no big damage. There are quite a few members from Lahore, Islamabad & different cities of India, I hope everyone is safe & sound.

funny how countries promise money to pakistan, have we learned nothing after bam earthquake? Pakistan needs supplies, experts and equipment. Good to see india the first to give aid after all the problems the two nations have had over kashmir and terrorism.

If some good comes out of something so terrible, its not a bad thing, personally, i have looking forward to India - Pakistan peace for a VERY long time. Also, if there is the money, the supplies can be bought at choice, but not always the other way around if there are only supplies.
