Kunal Kapoor made an impassioned plea on Twitter, "I request people to make small contributions to help the affected children of Leh region. Children are the most vulnerableu00a0 and it is now important that theyu00a0 get clean drinking water. We know how unsafe drinking water can lead to diarrhoea and cause even death among young children. Small steps on your part can go a long way to help save children."

"Save The Children has been working in Ladakh for over 40 years but we have not seen a natural calamity of this magnitude," says Sharif Bhat, Save the Children programme manager, who is also from Ladakh. "The team in Ladakh is working in extremely difficult circumstances as they also have to cope with missing family members, colleagues and friends. The families of our colleagues are still taking refuge in the mountains or in the local mosque for fear of more flooding."
