Tibet Earthquake Relief

People need your help!

The disaster is serious. 2,000 people confirmed dead, 12,000 people injured, 85% of all housing collapsed with survivors left out in the freezing cold and the main power grid was destroyed and is barely back online. Snow is hampering relief efforts. People there need help now.

China itself is asking for international help if that's any indication how bad it must be.

2 people were pulled from the rubble yesterday, 5 days after it hit. The people are begging the Chinese government to let the Dalai Lama come in and be with them, pray with them and help rebuild with them. The monks have been hit especially hard. Many temples and irreplacable historical relics have been destoyed as well.

China will not allow the Dalai Lama in and would probably just shoot him on sight. However, they are declaring today a "Day of Mourning" throughout China in recognition of the victims.
