Indonesia
The first phase of WV's relief response in Indonesia is underway. WV Indonesia is in the process of procuring and distributing non-food relief aid for 5,000 families (approximately 25,000 people) in the Banda Aceh area. The relief goods will include tarpaulins, cooking utensils, jerrycans/buckets, sarongs, soaps, masks and mosquito nets.
The goods are being procured and assembled in Jakarta and will then be transported to Banda Aceh. The distribution is expected to take place within the next week.
World Vision is also planning to initiate the setting up of 20 children's centres in the disaster-stricken area. This will likely include the installation of 20 special tents next to the temporary shelters, so traumatised children can receive physical and psychological support. World Vision Indonesia will explore cooperation with other agencies in the management of the centres.
Relief staff in the area report that agencies are still struggling to deal with the number of dead. World Vision Indonesia's Jimmy Nadapdap reported from Banda Aceh on Thursday that Red Cross and other groups were still working to bury the corpses scattered throughout the city.
"Many bodies are rotting and still left untouched up to this morning," said Nadapdap.
Another problem facing people in the town is finding food and shelter. Shops and other establishments remain closed, and there have been reports of looting as people struggle to find something to eat.
Several NGOs have tried to set up base in Banda Aceh to start relief operations. However, the lack of support facilities and continued chaos has made things difficult.
Sri Lanka
Staff from World Vision Sri Lanka have been working tirelessly to provide relief to families left devastated by the tsunami.
Four days after the tsunami struck the island of Sri Lanka, the death toll and numbers of casualties and displaced continues to rise. The death toll is nearing 30,000, as volunteers and army personnel continue to discover bodies as they dig through the debris.
World Vision Sri Lanka has already sent packs of essential food, as well as bedding, tarpaulin sheets, clothing, mattresses, kitchen utensils and basic medication to the worst affected areas.
Volunteers are working alongside World Vision staff around the clock to pack the supplies and send them to areas in Ampara, Galle, Batticoloa, Matara, Killinochchi and Hambantota.
Medicine and medical supplies are urgently needed, as well as a means to deal with the decomposing bodies of the victims. Health authorities warn of outbreaks of dysentery, cholera and hepatitis in the camps, if food and water is contaminated.
In coming days WVL plans to distribute dry ration food parcels, clothes and other cooking utensils such as plates, cups, jugs and buckets to 12,000 families living in camps in the Matara district.
As well as the relief packs, World Vision has also purchased mats, plates, cups, feeding bottles, plastic buckets and basins, which will be handed over to the District Secretary for distribution in the camps located around the district.
In Hambantota District, around 1,200 people are reported dead while another 11,200 have flocked to makeshift shelters around the district. World Vision's relief team in Hambantota began supplying emergency relief to victims on the 26th December at a relief camp in Tissamaharama.
World Vision staff have met with authorities in Hambantota to assess the situation. They report that the immediate needs are for clothing, temporary toilets, medicine and construction materials required for the creation of proper shelters – as most of the displaced are currently in schools.
Thailand
With the provincial death and injury tolls continuing to rise sharply, World Vision Thailand's aid operation has swung into operation, bringing relief to coastal towns stricken by the massive tsunami catastrophe.
WVFT is coordinating the relief efforts with government and private agencies, local networks and volunteers to help the stricken victims in the various affected areas.
Phangnga is the most seriously affected area, especially in the districts of Takua Pa, Taimuang and Kuraburi. Search and rescue teams have already found more than 1,000 bodies strewn along the beachfront. World Vision has been operating an HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis prevention project among migrant workers in the district, funded by Global Fund.
World Vision has distributed rice, dry food and kitchen utensils to both Thai people and Burmese migrant workers in the area. Around 600 sets of school supplies have also been distributed to children, and WV has been coordinating with public health centres to provide medicine to migrant workers.
In addition, World Vision has provided 570 sets of building materials to construct temporary housing for the Thai and Burmese migrant workers. Other planned activities include the construction of three school buildings, while 36 water tanks and 90 latrines will also be put in place.
Relief efforts are also continuing in Krabi, Phuket and Ranong. World Vision is partnering with government agencies in distributing items such as food, utensils, school supplies, materials for temporary shelters, and is helping provide water and sanitation facilities for people affected by the disaster.
India
As people hit by the killer Tsunami struggle to clear the debris, today World Vision’s relief supplies reached more coastal villages of the Indian state of Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh.
So far, World Vision has been able to provide immediate support for around 3,000 families. In the coming days, World Vision will provide relief to 35,000 families, and introduce a seven-day food ration to be manned by 75 staff.
In the worst-hit district of Nagapatinam, 1,300 families have been given medical assistance by a team of nine doctors, coordinated by World Vision with the help of a Christian hospital. Today, World Vision also provided food assistance (cooked food) to 1,000 families in the district.
Three teams are heading for different villages in Nagapatinam to assess the situation tomorrow, while the other four teams will distribute relief materials including clothes, mats, cooked food and bottled water to 2,000 families. Household utensils such as buckets and mugs will also be distributed to 1,000 families in the same area.
“The roads to the villages are piled with layers of debris. It will take months if not years for people to recover," World Vision relief team leader Relton Samuel said.
Meanwhile, in Cuddalore district, World Vision is looking initially at assisting seven villages comprising of 3,000 families by providing medicines, food, kerosene, blankets and cooking utensils.
A relief coordination office has been set up in Cuddalore with documentation facilities and finance management. An arrangement for warehousing is being worked out with the local church.
A rapid assessment survey was carried out in the tiny state of Pondicherry by a World Vision team yesterday. World Vision will be mobilizing relief to help 800 families in three villages of the district.
As helicopters make rounds spotting corpses along the beaches of Chennai, the fishermen communities here are busy clearing the debris. Thousands of people spend the night at the relief camps and come back in the morning to guard their belongings.
Unicef is coordinating a meeting of NGOs here to streamline relief works and a World Vision India representative will attend coordination meeting to gather information.
