Dear all,

The magnitude 9.0 earthquake and tsunami hit the Northern part of Japan 11th March. At this stage more than 7,700 people deaths were confirmed and more than 11,700 are still missing (20 Mar). 360,000 people have been living in their shelters without enough support since the disaster in Miyagi prefecture. Many communities were completely damaged including Miyagi and Iwate Prefectures. It is freezing condition because of snow and rescue people have been facing difficulties to find survivors in the condition. In addition, the biggest threat is the nuclear explosion. Some people have already been exposed by the nuclear radiation. It can be the worst scenario in the world.

It is very painful and hopeless, but I heard that those people are helping each other. According to CNN, 180 plant workers keep working despite the fact that doing so could result in serious illness or even death at the nuclear plant in Fukushima. Also Japanese and international rescue teams keep working together in the devastating condition.

Please pray for those people if you have some time.

Please make a donation to those victims if you have some extra.

This is one of the organisations which we can donate to them.
