The Cardinal expressed Catholics' solidarity and support for quake victims. He appealed to the bishops, priests, and men and women religious to encourage the community of the faithful, public institutions and people of good will to contribute to help the victims of emergency.
For several days, Caritas India has been on the ground, involved in rescue and recovery. The Indian Catholic Church was among the first to express its solidarity to the people of Nepal, offering prayers and condolences to all those who lost loved ones and property to the quake.

Drinking water is also in short supply and there is rising concern about the impact of possible epidemics on the most vulnerable, especially children.
