Indonesia EmergencyThe situation in Padang, where the earthquake measuring 7.6 on the Richter scale took place on Wednesday 30th of September 2009, has triggered a massive global response.
The death toll is rising on a daily basis and it is feared the situation is much worse than initially anticipated. Isaar Trust partners are already on the ground assessing the level of destruction and the relief effort that is required. Water supply is an immediate problem for many of those left stranded. 80% of buildings have been destroyed. Therefore the requirement for emergency shelter is critical.
According to the Indonesian government which is welcoming international help, priority needs are medical supplies, petrol, generators, sanitation equipment, food and shelter equipment.
Isaar Trust and its partners already has teams working on the ground, but there is a desperate need for funds to continue the essential work. In the past, it has been noted that much of the death, illnesses and child mortality takes place after the disaster, due to the slow arrival of vital life saving aid.
Please DONATE generously so that we can respond effectively in the short, medium and long term. Much more funds will be required to provide long term stability to the people affected by this disaster.
