A series of natural disasters has hit Southeast Asia, including two earthquakes that devastated Indonesia and a cyclone that swept across Cambodia, Laos, the Philippines and Vietnam. In Indonesia alone, an estimated 1,100 people have died and even more are homeless and probable anticipates the devastation will worsen in the Philippines as a super-typhoon threatens the already ravaged country.
The ASEAN Secretariat has set up an emergency humanitarian relief fund following Tropical Storm Ondoy (international name: Ketsana) that have hit Cambodia, Lao PDR, the Philippines, and Viet Nam, and the earthquakes in Indonesia, the ASEAN Secretariat said.
“The fund will be used to purchase relief items based on the needs of the affected populations,” the statement from the secretariat of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations said.
Friends and partners of ASEAN are welcome to make contributions to the fund.
I hope to pray for them from all.
