Help Japan

People are being urged to help to get much-needed aid to the people of Japan, as the country struggles in the aftermath of an earthquake, tsunami, and a growing nuclear crisis.

The full scale of the disaster is now starting to emerge, following a devastating tsunami which swept the north-east of Japan after a massive earthquake struck just off the coast. The tidal waters swept away homes, livelihoods and infrastructure, and a nuclear emergency has been declared with explosions at least one power station. More than 200,000 people have been evacuated from the area, and 300,000 people had to flee their homes across the country.

20,000 people are thought to have died in the disaster and it is expected that the numbers of fatalities will increase as the waters recede.

They need all the help that they can get. Please Help Japan. Please Donate generously.
