The earthquake disaster in Gujarat has seen the mobilisation of international relief efforts. Christian organisations are in the vanguard as usual...
Following the devastating quake in January, British charities, including Tearfund, World Vision and the Christian Children's Fund (CCF), formed a Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) to try and co-ordinate efforts to bring aid to the stricken region.
Following the initial rescue phase, which concentrated on freeing survivors from the collapsed buildings, Tearfund's Christian partners in the devastated state of Gujarat report an urgent need for tents, food and medicines for survivors.
