A Sikh based charity is asking people to donate essential goods for those who have been affected by the earthquake in Nepal.

More than five thousand people have been killed and many more injured in the earthquake on Saturday. Many families are awaiting news of loved ones who are still missing.

Khalsa Aid is working with Jet Airways to deliver items such as hand sanitizers, wet wipes, baby milk powder and water purification tablets.

Drop off points have been organised for Friday 1st May in various places across the Midlands including the Guru Tegh Bahadur Gurdwara in Leicester and Guru Nanak Gurdwara in Sparkhill, Birmingham.

A team of volunteers will transport the items to the Khalsa Aid headquarters in Slough where they will be packed for delivery to Nepal on Saturday 2nd May.
