Japan Tsunami: AMDA relief efforts continue

Thousands of people are homeless and staying in temporary buildings such as schools, government buildings, hotels etc.  Though some supplies have been getting through there are still insufficient for everyone.  People interviewed continue to ask for food, water, clothing, and blankets. 

For those who still have their homes, electricity, water  and other infrastructure has been cut off.  Being winter, at night the temperatures are dropping to below zero.  The vulnerable, elderly, sick and children are especially suffering.  Both medical care as well as psychological support are needed.   Cases of pneumonia as well as hypothermia are increasing. 

While hospitals along the coast have been damaged, those further inland are functioning though overloaded.

The AMDA teams are part of a huge aid effort, very well orchestrated by the Japanese Government. Difficulties of access to many areas however still exist due to blocked access routes.

Donations to AMDA efforts are being collected by partner Rose Charities and go directly to support the AMDA teams without administration costs.    DONATE (CLICK)
