On Wednesday October 26, the regimes on both sides of the
India-Pakistan border finally allowed three truckloads of relief goods
to enter Pakistan from India. This is the third PTUDC solidarity
caravan for Kashmir, and was organised jointly by MPs and PTUDC
supporters in both India and Kashmir.

This article from the English daily DAWN in Pakistan explains that the
team of doctors coming with the Indian relief delegation to go along
with MP Manzoor Ahmed and the Revolutionary Solidarity Caravan have
been denied access to Pakistan. This clearly exposes the rottenness of
the Musharraf regime and shows how little the dictatorship is concerned
about the victims of the earthquake.

The initial shock of the earthquake in Pakistan and Azad Kashmir is
beginning to turn into anger as millions of people are left without
shelter in the cold and rain. The PTUDC’s international solidarity
campaign has swung into action raising well over £1000 over the last
few days. The response to our appeal has been truly amazing, but we
need to raise more money to pay for the supplies, convoys, and
medicines that we will be sending to the worst affected areas of
Kashmir and Pakistan.

We received this update from Pakistan today detailing the extent of
some of the damage caused by the earthquake and some of the plans for
relief and aid organised by the PTUDC. Our financial appeal has managed
to raise several hundred pounds from around the world in a short amount
of time and we would like to thank all of those who have donated money.
This is only the beginning and we need to raise more money to get the
necessary supplies, such as tents and medicines, to help those who need
it most.

We have just received this urgent appeal from the comrades in Pakistan. The
terrible earthquake that has devastated the north of Pakistan and India has had
its worst effects in Kashmir. As if the inhabitants of this oppressed land had
not suffered enough, nature has now inflicted an appalling calamity that falls
heaviest on the poorest sections of society.We are calling on every member of the international
labour movement to give as generously as possible to the special appeal that we
have launched today.
