四川地震災民極待救援 Sichuan Earthquake Victims In Dire Need

四川省北部阿壩州汶川縣於5月12日下午發生黎克特制7.8級地震,是中國三十年來最嚴重地震,猶幸未有收到當地及鄰近地區資助兒童的傷亡報告。

然而,地震至今已造成近萬人死亡,數以萬計的人受傷,超過16個地區包括四川、甘肅、重慶及雲南備受影響,無數房屋倒塌,電力及食水供應中斷。由於道路及通訊設施嚴重損毀,令災區與外界溝通受阻,預計傷亡數字將不斷上升,災民正處於水深火熱之中。

當地宣明會工作人員已於四川開始救援工作,準備為災民派發7,000張棉被及150個帳篷。緊急救援人員亦趕抵災區,按需要為災民提供糧食和食水等緊急救援物資,以濟燃眉之急。同時,在陝西、甘肅、雲南及貴州等地的宣明會工作人員亦準備協助救災工作。香港世界宣明會已初步撥款港幣300萬元回應災民的需要。

我們懇請您能伸出援手,捐款讓災民得到即時的援助!

A powerful 7.8-magnitude earthquake, which was the most powerful quake in China for thirty years, devastated Sichuan province on May 12. Fortunately, we haven't received any report of injury of sponsored child(ren) in the areas.

Nevertheless, the quake has killed nearly 10,000 and injured tens of thousands. More than 16 regions including Sichuan, Gansu, Chongqing and Yunnan are affected. Numerous buildings are collapsed, and electricity and water pipes are destroyed. The quake has also cut several major highways and communication systems. While the death toll is expected to rise, those alive are living in distress.
World Vision's local staff in Sichuan will distribute 7,000 quilts and 150 tents to the victims. A team of relief workers has rushed to the hard-hit areas to help distribute food and drinking water for immediate relief. Meanwhile, World Vision's staff from the neighbouring provinces Shaanxi, Gansu, Yunnan and Guizhou are standing by for any further deployment. World Vision Hong Kong has initially committed HK$3 million for the relief of the calamity.
