Every year since 2007, thousands of bloggers have come together for one
day to talk about one important issue, like Poverty, Climate Change
and Human Rights.
2014 focuses on the rising issue of Inequality.
Kashmir
Since September 3, 2014, destructive
monsoon floods have claimed hundreds of lives both in the
Indian and Pakistani-administered regions of Kashmir.
The floods left hospitals
struggling with numerous people brought in for treatment
of waterborne diseases. Medical centers in the flood-hit areas are in
dire need of basic supplies and medicine. Hundreds of thousands of people in both parts of Kashmir have been forced out of their homes in the flood-hit areas.

While relief efforts globally and from government entities has been frightfully slow, the strength and independence of the people of Kashmir has once again, risen in times of great adversity.
The above photo, taken 09/08/14 by Ieshan Wani, depicts Budshah bridge where new born babies
are being carried in a basket tied with electric wires on the back of
a man. The other person was carrying an oxygen cylinder to keep them
alive, after they managed to move them from an inundated hospital in
Srinagar to JLMN hospital.
Today, I was given this video for "Heal Kashmir" that depicts in depth what has and is occurring in Kashmir and how YOU can help:
