World Jewish Relief has raised more than £500,000 in less than two months to help the millions affected by the Nepalese earthquake.

The most devastating natural disaster to hit the South Asian nation in more than 80 years killed nearly 9,000 people and left hundreds of thousands homeless.

Since it was launched in late April, the campaign has raised £516,000, with 4,767 individuals donating so far.

The largest donor was the Pears Foundation, which donated £50,000.
