A
devastating 7.1-magnitude earthquake has torn through
Tibet and Nepal, leaving a trail of destruction
in its wake. More than 120 lives have been
lost, and thousands more have been injured,
trapped under collapsed structures, or
displaced.
Entire villages in
the remote Himalayan region have been reduced to
rubble, with over 3,600 homes
destroyed and 30,000 people left without shelter.
The survivors now face freezing winter
temperatures, plummeting to well below zero,
with limited access to food, medical care, and
protection from the bitter cold.
This
tragedy has hit a region already burdened by isolation
and political oppression. Tibet, a land of
immense spiritual and cultural significance, remains one
of the most restricted areas in the world, with its
people suffering under decades of occupation, terror,
and state-sponsored violence. While much of the
world has otherwise turned a blind eye to Tibet's
plight, this earthquake presents an opportunity for
action.
This is a test of our
shared humanity. The wealthiest nations in the world
have the resources to make a difference. They just have
to decide to act.
Sign this petition to
demand that the governments of wealthy nations provide
aid and assistance to impacted communities in Tibet and
Nepal!
