Red Cross provides relief as heavy rains cause floods and landslides in Southern China
Heavy rains and hailstorms have triggered severe floods and landslides in parts of Southern China, affecting over 600,000 people and displacing over 240,000 people. According to government estimates published at the beginning of July, 128 people were killed while another 42 were reported missing. On 9 July, a landslide caused by torrential rains in Xinjiang Autonomous Region of China took the lives of another 36 people.

Since the onset of the flooding, highly-trained and well-equipped emergency relief teams from the Red Cross Society of China have been distributing relief items including family kits, clothes, tents, food and cash assistance to those affected. They have also set up tents and sanitary facilities in safe locations.lees verder

Het Rode Kruis heeft dinsdag een deel van zijn internationale staf in Zuid-Sudan tijdelijk geëvacueerd. De hulporganisatie acht, hoewel er een staakt-het-vuren is afgekondigd, het risico van escalatie van het geweld onverminderd groot. De betrokkenen, onder wie geen Nederlanders, hebben een veilig heenkomen gezocht in Uganda.

Louisiana Flooding: Red Cross Shelters 10,000+ After Worst Disaster Since Superstorm Sandy
WASHINGTON, D.C. – August 15, 2016 — The American Red Cross is helping thousands of people in Louisiana affected by devastating flooding, likely the worst natural disaster since Superstorm Sandy in 2012.

“Relief efforts in Louisiana are challenging with life-threatening floods and road closures making conditions dangerous,” said Brad Kieserman, vice president, Disaster Services Operations and Logistics for the Red Cross. “We are mobilizing a massive relief effort with volunteers providing shelter, food and comfort right now. The Red Cross is also sending in additional relief supplies and volunteers to expand our response in the coming days.”

“The Red Cross depends on the generosity of the public to support our work,” continued Kieserman. “We urgently need people to join us in supporting Louisiana by making a financial donation today, as well as to consider volunteering to help us provide relief on the ground.”

On Sunday night, more than 10,600 people sought refuge in nearly 50 Red Cross and community shelters in Louisiana. Many local Red Cross volunteers have also been affected by the flooding and hundreds of community members are being trained right now to support their neighbors. An additional 500 Red Cross disaster volunteers from all over the country are on their way to help in Louisiana. The Red Cross has also mobilized 60 disaster response vehicles, 40,000 ready-to-eat meals and more than two dozen trailer loads of shelter and kitchen supplies.
