"Mr President, I would like to thank you and the Office of the President for responding to the request from the Kashmiri community in my constituency, and indeed the Kashmiri Mayor of Manchester, Afzal Khan, to send condolences and aid to the victims of the earthquake.
The death toll is rising; at least two million people are homeless with winter just weeks away. A terrible tragedy requires dramatic and speedy action and a generosity of financing and support to meet the aims and match the funding that we gave to the victims of the tsunami crisis as well.
DM Digital Television, a TV company in my region, has been contacted by frantic relatives from across Europe seeking urgent help for orphans. I would ask the Commission to prioritise assistance to children and to orphans, to assist families and relatives in Europe and the UK to adopt orphans if they wish to, and to get assistance from the government and immigration authorities to enable this to go ahead. I would also ask for urgent medical attention to be provided.
I would ask the Commission and the EU to act on this request as urgently as possible to assist those children and those orphans in need."@en1
