Pakistani officials in Quebec are mobilizing the community to help in the relief efforts following this weekend's devastating earthquake.

The earthquake killed at least 20,000 people, with some estimates putting that number as high as 30,000.

Pakistan's consul-general in Montreal, Saifulah Chattha says his office has been helping to organize meetings to keep community members informed.

Chattha says a larger meeting of community leaders is set for Tuesday to help organize fundraising efforts."
