<div>When the 5.8 magnitude earthquake struck Chipursan Valley, high in Pakistan’s Gilgit-Baltistan region, it was not only houses that collapsed. In a matter of seconds, an entire community was pushed into uncertainty and displacement in the middle of winter.

<div><br />
</div>
<div>Nearly 90% of the population, more than 4000 people, is now living in tents in -20 degrees, as aftershocks continue and temperatures plunge. Hundreds of homes built over generations are uninhabitable. Food and belongings remain buried under rubble.

<div>When i met a young girl from Chipursan three years ago, long before the earthquake, i originally made a story about her progress in school, being the best in her class. Yesterday, she told me, <em>“I’m scared all the time the earthquake will happen again. It’s so cold in the tents. If we stay here, I feel like we will die.”</em>

<div>Winter is turning this disaster into a race against time. This fundraiser is about keeping people alive, providing warmth, food, shelter, and medical support to a community waiting for safety and hope. Just ten euros can buy a heating system, or food for a week for a small family.
