Japan Tsunami - AMURT Responds

In Japan the confirmed death toll from the disaster has risen above 5,600. More than 9,500 people are missing and about 380,000 people are currently still in temporary shelters, many sleeping on the floor of school gymnasiums.

The government in the Sendai area has welcomed the offer from AMURT to begin relief work and appreciates the experience that they bring from other disasters in Haiti and Indonesia etc. However they are unable to provide any accommodation, food or fuel for our relief workers. The AMURT team plan to leave tomorrow afternoon and reach Sendai by Sunday morning, local time. It will be a very challenging environment to work in due to lack of food, water and fuel etc.

Our AMURT team in Japan are dedicated and committed to providing whatever services they can to the refugees lacking basic human needs. As I'm sure you can appreciate, Japan is a very expensive country to work in.

All donations to AMURT Japan Relief will go straight to our relief team on the ground.
