Bangladesh Cyclone Relief

As you must be aware by now, a powerful cyclone has hit Bangladesh on November 17th, which caused massive damage to infrastructure and more than 2300 lives were lost. The Bangladesh Red Crescent Society suggests that the toll could hit 10,000 once rescuers reach outlying islands. As the death toll continues to climb, hundreds of thousands still await aid.

To help in the relief efforts, APPNA has established a fund to support the victims. APPNA Social Welfare and Disaster Relief Committee is making strong efforts to raise funds, and we are establishing contact with the various organizations on the ground including Bangladeshi American Medical Association, and Doctors Worldwide.

Please donate generously to this effort. More information will be coming in the next days to let you know how to donate.

Sincerely,
Nadeem A. Kazi, MD
President APPNA
