Story

Aftershocks continue to disrupt search and rescue efforts in New Zealand after Tuesday’s 6.3 magnitude earthquake hit its second largest city and surrounding area of Christchurch.

 

The severe destruction has taken 98 lives, and 226 more are missing in the wreckage. There is a short window for rescue teams to pull victims from the rubble, provide medical care and shelter. Rescue teams have arrived from Australia, Asia, the US and Britain. The teams are evacuating whole suburbs under risk of cliff collapse.

 

After seeing such an effective response from you, our benevolent community, during the Pakistan Floods, we know you will be interested in doing your part and supporting our friends in New Zealand.

To respond to a disaster as quickly possible, ShelterBox need to have complete flexibility with their funds and can therefore never accept location or time specific donations. While your donation may not necessarily fund their response to the New Zealand earthquake, you can be sure that the money you donate will help provide shelter, warmth and dignity to families affected by disasters across the world

 

Thanks for taking the time to visit the NZ earthquake appeal page on JustGiving.
