Pakistan Earthquake Special

Giving generously - local communities are pulling together

Andy Johnson reports on the impact of the Pakistan earthquake in the North West of England.

Inside Out visits Edge End High School in Nelson, Lancashire where there is a two minute silence for the victims.

We talk to children about their fundraising efforts.

Inside Out also visits the offices of Muslim Global Relief in Nelson to talk about the effort.

We travel to a warehouse to see where items are being collected to send to Pakistan and meet the people working there.

Another port of call is the Randal Street Mosque in Blackburn where we see local prayers for the disaster.

Andy Johnson interviews Syed Rashid Bukhari at his shop in Oldham. He has lost around 100 members of his family in the disaster on his wife's side.

Andy also interviews Fazal Rahim, Co-ordinator at the Oldham Inter-Faith Forum in Oldham, who explains how all the faiths are joining together in the town to help the disaster relief.
