2005 earthquake

Main article: 2005 Kashmir earthquake

For Pakistanis, the earthquake of October 8, 2005 became a symbol of sympathy and assistance to others in their misery and sorrow. The government agencies were unable to handle this disaster, which was too massive for any single government or agency to tackle alone. It was the participation of the people, en masse, which enabled the government and all its wings to bear the heavy burden. Jammu Kashmir Peoples Party, and other social, political and religious personalities and organisations contributed for earthquake victims.
