Erdbeben in Sichuan, China
Die Militaerregierung in Myanmar laesst nach wie vor nur ganz wenige internationale Helfer in die Krisenregion und eine Besserung ist nicht in Sicht. Es sind seit der Katastrophe fast drei Wochen vergangen und die Wahscheinlichkeit von Cholera- und Thypusepidemieausbruechen steigt dramatisch. Falls es zu Ausbruechen kommt, wird sicher ein Vielfaches an medizinischer Versorgung, an Trinkwasser und dann vor allem an sanitaerer Versorgung erforderlich werden.
Da wir von Bangkok aus nicht viel tun koennen, werd ich mit der gleichen Organisation in Dujiangyan, State Sichuan, China unterwegs sein, um im Erdbebengebiet zu helfen. Pat, mit dem ich hierher gekommen bin, wird bis auf weiteres hier bleiben, fuer den Fall das jemand in die Krisenregion darf. Ich fliege am Donnerstag morgen (22.5.) los, der Ruechflug nach Bangkok ist auf den 10.6. gebucht und, so Gott will, bin ich am 11.6. dann zurueck in D. Soweit der Plan. Aus "14 Tage spater wieder in D" wird wohl nun nichts mehr ...

12.05.2008: A 7,8 magnitude earthqauke shook China's Sichuan province
Water Systems Are on the Way to Earthquake-stricken China
CHARLESTON, SC--- Today, at approximately 12:30p.m. EST, Water Missions International (WMI) will deploy six water purification systems from its Charleston, SC facility to China’s Sichuan province to aid survivors of the deadly earthquake that shook on May 12. The six systems, requested by Samaritan’s Purse (SP), will be transported to Charlotte, NC and then airlifted to Chengdu, China on Friday, May 23. An additional six water systems, currently positioned in Bangkok, Thailand, will also be transported to China this week. WMI’s International Project Director, Andre Mergenthaler, will travel from Bangkok to China to assist with installation and operation of the 12 systems. Each water system is assembled by volunteer labor, provides a continuous supply of approximately 10,000 gallons per day, and can be rapidly deployed and installed in only a few hours to purify available surface and shallow well water sources in disaster affected areas.
A deadly, 7.8-magnitude earthquake shook China’s Sichuan province on Monday, May 12, affecting millions of people. To date, the quake and its aftershocks have claimed more than 34,000 lives and left nearly a quarter of a million people injured. The latest reports estimate that another 14,000 people could still be buried beneath the rubble. One week after the disaster, 4.8 million people are homeless and in desperate need of food, shelter, and clean, safe water.
