THE D.E.C. HAITI EARTHQUAKE APPEAL HAS CLOSED

Friday, August 20th, 2010

6  MONTHS ON………….

D.E.C.  ( http://www.dec.org.uk/)  would like to thank the UK public for helping raise an extraordinary £101 million. See the series of videos on YouTube showing how the money is helping people rebuild their lives.

A devastating 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck Haiti on January 12th 2010. It was the worst earthquake to hit the country in 200 years. Up to three million people live in the area worst hit by the quake, which centred 10 miles south-west of the densely populated capital Port-Au-Prince. The latest estimates are 230,000 people killed, 300,000 injured and 1.2 million left needing emergency shelter. Survivors lost family, homes, livelihoods and essential services. Hospitals, schools and government buildings were all destroyed.

The survivors’ urgent needs for medical care, food and water are increasingly being met, but the challenges remain huge. There is a critical need for appropriate emergency shelter and also latrines to prevent the spread of diseases. Homes, schools, health clinics and essential services such as water and sewerage must all be replaced or provided. Haiti is the poorest country in the western hemisphere, greatly increasing the risk that people will suffer or die in the aftermath of a natural disaster.

D.E.C. APPEALS FOR DONATIONS FOR LATEST FLOOD DISASTER IN PAKISTAN

Friday, August 20th, 2010

The Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) (http://www.dec.org.uk/) are currently appealing for donations to help with humanitarian aid for the victims of the recent tragedy of the Pakistan floods. Please see below for further information on how to make your donation.

Over 1,000 people are reported to have died with that number likely to rise as more information becomes available. About 2.5 million people are believed to have been affected by the floods which may worsen as further rain falls and water moves downstream. In the aftermath of the floods there is a serious risk to survivors from potentially deadly diseases which will spread as a result of contaminated surface and drinking water. 

The Disaster Emergency Committee has opened the ‘DEC Pakistan Floods Appeal’ and special broadcasts will run from Thursday (05.08.10) on the BBC, ITV, Sky, Channel 4, Channel Five and independent radio stations.

The money raised will help fund the life saving work in Pakistan of the DEC’s Members and their partners.

The money raised will support the efforts in Pakistan of the DEC’s members which are the leading UK aid agencies.

Donate now online or call 0370 60 60 900 to speak to the official DEC Donation line
