Earthquake in China
A major earthquake measuring 7.8 on the Richter scale jolted Wenchuan County, Aba Prefecture in southwest China's Sichuan Province on May 12, causing staggering destruction.
Latest official figures indicate that over 12,000 people are feared dead and tens of thousands are injured or missing.
Red Cross support to those affected by the earthquake in China has been immediate.
The Red Cross Society of China began providing emergency relief assistance immediately following the quake and members of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies are on the ground conducting emergency assessments to determine the needs of survivors.
The Canadian Red Cross is accepting donations from the Canadian public to support the relief efforts that are already underway.
Canadians wishing to make a financial donation may give online at www.redcross.ca, call 1-800-418-1111 or contact their local Canadian Red Cross office. The 24-hour toll free line accepts Visa, MasterCard and American Express. Cheques should be made payable to the Canadian Red Cross, earmarked “China Earthquake” and mailed to the Canadian Red Cross National Office, 170 Metcalfe Street, Suite 300, Ottawa, Ontario, K2P 2P2.
Donate Now!
In-kind donations of food, clothing and other items, while well intentioned, are not the best way to help those in need. There are tremendous processing and transportation costs involved in shipping these items to beneficiaries. Local purchases of food and clothing are more culturally appropriate and effective. Red Cross supplies can be purchased in the immediate area, thereby reducing transportation costs. Cash transfers to the affected region provide the optimum flexibility to our Red Cross colleagues so they can meet the most urgent needs.更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
