    Thousands Feared Dead as Earthquake Hits China
    May 12, 2008
    Approximately 80 percent of the buildings in Sichuan`s Beichuan County were flattened in the quake, the official Xinhua News Agency reported Monday. A chemical plant in Shifang city also was destroyed, burying hundreds of people.

    Outside the city of Dujiangyan, at least 50 students were killed and 900 trapped after the three-story Juyuan Middle School collapsed. Buried teenagers could be seen struggling to break loose from under the rubble of the three-story building, while others cried out for help.

    In Dujiangyan, 45 miles north of Chengdu, a hospital collapsed with an estimated 100 people. Crane crews worked to rescue those trapped.

    The earthquake crashed telephone networks in Chengdu and plunged parts of the city of 11 million into darkness. Residents slept outside in cars or fled to the suburbs — far from the city's high rises — as more than 300 aftershocks rattled the area throughout the day, according to state-run media.

    Humanity First Appeals for Africa Flood Relief Fund
    Monday, October 1, 2007
    Humanity First has launched an urgent appeal for Africa Flood Relief Fund to provide humanitarian assistance to the victims of disaster. The early onset of seasonal rains in Africa has caused severe flooding affecting 20 countries in a belt across central Africa from Senegal to Kenya. Reports confirm at least 270 dead and 600,000 homeless. Millions more face starvation and disease after catastrophic damage to local crops and clean water following the heaviest rains in three decades. The greatest danger currently looming over is shortage of food and drinking water along with the threat of outbreak of waterborne diseases and malaria.

    Relief fund for Tropical Storm Noel in Haiti
    Monday, November 5, 2007
    Tropical Storm Noel began lashing Haiti with heavy rains late Sunday as it slowly neared the impoverished Caribbean nation, generating fears of flash flooding on deforested hills often blanketed by rows of flimsy shacks.

    Noel, the 14th named storm of the Atlantic season, was projected to reach Haiti and the Dominican Republic - which share the island of Hispaniola - early Monday, before heading on toward Cuba.

    The strengthening Caribbean storm, which formed into a tropical storm earlier Sunday, poses a serious threat to Haiti, where floods killed at least 37 earlier this month.

    Widespread deforestation and poor drainage mean that even moderate rains can cause devastation in Haiti, where thousands of people build ramshackle homes in flood plains.

    Dominican authorities said at least 600 people had been evacuated as the storm touched off landslide, flooded rivers and pushed storm surges onto Santo Domingo's seaside boulevard.

    Swollen rivers also forced evacuations in Cabaret, a town north of Port-au-Prince where floods killed at least 23 people earlier this month, said Marie Alta Jean-Baptiste, director of Haiti's civil protection agency.
