Following the earthquake that hit Mirpur and other areas in Kashmir, the relief activities are in full swing in the valley. A number of countries and the Asian Development Bank (ABD) have also lent their support to Pakistan after the disaster that badly damaged the infrastructure, injuring and killing several people.
English cricketer, Adil Rashid, has also been seen helping the victims of the earthquake in Azad Kashmir. He was recently pictured donating relief packages among those affected by the earthquake. He also distributed hygiene kits among the residents of Sang Kikri, a village in Azad Kashmir.

Here are @IRWorldwide @IslamicReliefUK @IslamicReliefPK at their best, responding to a quake that is too small, it seems, to register much on Richter scale of international news – but huge for the victims. Great to see @englandcricket star Adil Rashid lending a hand too @TufailH https://t.co/tNblHJjEXd
