Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) Cymru

The Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) Cymru today launched the Indonesia Tsunami Appeal to support efforts to save the lives of survivors of the disaster in Sulawesi.

So far, more than 1,400 people are confirmed to have died, many more are injured and tens of thousands of homes have been damaged.

Aid agencies, including the Red Cross, are working hard to transport much-needed supplies, including food, drinking water, medical care and shelter, to affected areas.
