2008 Cyclone Nargis

Typhoon Haiyan was 300 miles across when it struck the Philippines on the 8th of November 2013 and one of the most intense tropical storms to ever make landfall anywhere in the world. It brought torrential rain, sustained winds of over 195mph and a storm surge of up to 30 feet that devastated coastal areas.

There are millions of people who have been affected, including hundreds of thousands who have been forced from their homes. There are countless dead. Those who have survived now need urgent help including emergency shelter, clean water and food.

Our network in the Philippines will help distribute the aid to where it is needed most. Be assured your donation will go directly to those in need.

Help us as we also send in our Indian medical, aid and relief and counsellors lead by Pastor Randeep Matthews into Nepal to the outer areas of the damage zone (50klm from Katmandu) where folk otherwise won't get help. We are ensuring that urgently needed supplies, such as water, food etc are able to be distributed quickly as well as getting medical help to as many as possible. If the airports are not open they will drive over the border as they are in reasonably close proximity to the damage zone! We will be forwarding funds to them in the next two days so we will need funds urgently as access to funds transfers is unlikely in the quake zone!

Dr Jane Edwards our Haven Doctor flew to Nepal to assist with a team on the ground to help bring much needed aid and relief to the victims of the earthquake. Dr Jane is partnering with our COC churches and two trained nurses are flying in from Australia.

The earthquake triggered an avalanche on Mount Everest, killing at least 17. The death toll surpassed that of the 2014 Mount Everest avalanche, making it the most lethal day on the mountain. Continued aftershocks occurred throughout Nepal, with one shock reaching a magnitude of 6.7 on 26 April at 12:54:08 NST.

On 25th April 2015 Nepal was hit by a massive 7.8 magnitude earthquake which occurred at 11:56 NST. Its epicenter was approximately 34 km (21 miles) east-southeast of Lamjung, Nepal, and its hypocenter was at a depth of approximately 15 km (9.3 mi). It is the most powerful disaster to strike Nepal since the 1934 Nepal–Bihar earthquake. To date over 5,000 people are believed to have died as a result, with casualties reported in Nepal and adjoining areas of India, China, and Bangladesh.
