AMDA 4th and 5th medical and support teams arrived in Senadai 13th and 14th March. The teams immediately went into action providing both direct medical support as well as bringing in materials and supplies in the suburbs of Sendai and surrounding areas. Food, water, blankets, clothing is in great need. Temperatures have dropped in the last 36 hours and survivors are now facing freezing temperatures with snow, and sleet. Hypothermia is a great danger in.
Global Medic Canada has contacted AMDA / Rose Charities Canada and has generously offered to lend support to the AMDA Japan relief efforts. This offer is very greatly appreciated as so much more logistical support is needed as well as funds. Global Medic has a strong history of excellent emergency international relief.
AMDA is one of Japans most experienced NGO's in emergency relief and was heavily involved in the Kobe Earthquake in 1995. We have have carried out over 100 international relief efforts to date in all parts of the world. Rose Charities is AMDA's close partner in Canada and provides support for AMDA missions as well as, on several occasions joined with support staff and teams.
