WASHINGTON: A group of doctors from Georgetown University Hospital and other areas is appealing for urgent donations to send vital supplies to the quake-hit area.

The 25-doctors group, which returned last week from Pakistan after making an urgent trip there, says in a note to the National Council of Pakistani Americans (www.ncpa.info) that tones of important items are decaying at New York’s JFK airport due to the non-availability of cargo space on PIA flights.

URGENT: Young medical doctors needed for medical team working with SUNGI out of Muzaffarabad. 

I post this on behalf of a close friend who just called me from Muzzaffarabad, where he is working with SUNGI. SUNGI urgently needs medical doctors and/or final year medical students as part of a medical team to *travel by foot for several hours* to outlying villages beyond Muzaffarabad that *have not been accessed at all* as they are only accessibly by foot, and where individuals and families need urgent medical help.
