Meanwhile, Dr Aziz Ahmad Hafiz, a GP and president of Keighley Ahmadiyya Muslim Association, is spearheading Humanity First's emergency response to the disaster.
A 12-strong team of volunteers – including doctors, paramedics, firefighters and logistics staff – was despatched. Following briefings with the United Nations and the Nepalese authorities, the team was stationed in Gorkha – near the epicentre of the quake – where it has set-up a primary care clinic.
"A tragedy of such magnitude brings home the reality of nature's forces and how small and insignificant we are," said Dr Hafiz, who has been a volunteer with the charity for 20 years since he was a student at the former Greenhead School in Keighley.
