The Padang province of Indonesia is reeling from the impact of a 7.3 magnitude earthquake which struck the island on Wednesday 30th September. The quake has already claimed the lives of more than 600 people and injured more than 2000 people. Hundreds more people are thought to be buried amongst the rubble. The disaster also destroyed vital health and livelihood infrastructure as well as thousands of homes.
To address the urgent health needs of the people in the Padang area, UnitingWorld has launched an emergency appeal through our partner, the Indonesian Christian Church. Funds will support the cost of transport, medical supplies and logistics for two medical teams involving 25 doctors. The teams will be providing medical assistance for survivors for up to two months from 6th October.
