CWS appeals for survivors of Indonesian Earthquake and Tsunami.
Christian World Service is appealing for donations to support the survivors of last month’s disaster in Central Sulawesi, Indonesia.
The magnitude 7.4 earthquake on September 28 was followed by a tsunami with waves reaching up to 6 metres high and speeds that could have reached 400 kilometres an hour.
Nearly 2,000 people have been confirmed dead, 74,444 displaced and over 1.1 million affected. Numbers are expected to rise further. An estimated 65,733 houses are damaged and electricity has only been partly restored. Hungry survivors have stopped relief deliveries before they reach their intended destination.
