600+ Indian MITACS interns in limbo, worried about visa delays, losses due to flight. Despite giving biometrics 2 months ago, no word from IRCC Canada. Urgent action needed. Please, expedite! #India_Mitacs_Visa #IRCC @CitImmCanada @CanadainIndia @AICTE_INDIA @MitacsCanada

I don't think people realise the depth of the tragedy that has happened. For me this is just unimaginable.

A flight full of people that took off from Ahmedabad went down in flames killing nearly everyone on it. Including infants and children. Whole families wiped out (I find some solace in knowing that some families, all of them, died together, and none was left behind to live a life full of emptiness)

The ball of metal and fire then showered down on a major medical college hostel and canteen killing many undergraduate students, interns and senior residents.

Students were taking their lunch break, waiting to go back to class or the hospital to learn and attend to patients.

They had spent the majority of their lives reading and learning and painstakingly cracking the medical entrance exams are living their dream.

Some of them would have recently joined, taking loans and sacrificing so much. Including their parents. It was all of their dreams that went down in flames and rubble.

I see many accounts throwing conspiracy theories, playing the blame game, indulging in divisive politics, creating misinformation about what happened and others sharing gory images and details from the tragedy.

I wish we were more civilized and caring. We are humans first and humanism eclipses everything else. Let us share resources that can be helpful to those in need and their families.

For any related assistance, Gujarat State Government Police issued the following:
Landline: 079-23251900
Mobile: [phone]
Police Helpline: 079-25620359

A lot of the injured require blood and blood product transfusions. Details are in the image below. Please help them in any way you can. If anyone has other helpline leads for donations and support, please comment under this post.

Act like an adult and a compassionate human during colossal tragedy. It helps.
