Typhoon Ketsana struck Laos on the last 29th September causing widespread flooding and damage. In remote provinces in the south of the country water levels are continuing to rise, electricity supplies have gone down and villages are completely cut off from the main roads.
The latest report from our staff in the area is that water levels are reaching two metres. Many people are stranded on the roofs of their houses and clean water is running out. In this region alone, over 6,000 people in 28 villages are affected.
“These communities have already been suffering from food shortages in the recent past. This disaster has completely ravaged the lives of poor people with very scarce resources.” said Sally Sukulku, Health Unlimited’s manager in Laos. “Our priority now is to provide the worst affected communities with food, water and shelter.”
Please help us provide food and water to people who
have lost their homes and possessions in the storm. We need your support urgently –
please give now. Your support will save lives.
