Jersey Disaster Appeal – Nepal Earthquake

 

Islanders are being encouraged to help victims of the earthquake in Nepal which has devastated large parts of the country and left thousands of people dead and hundreds of thousands without homes, food, clean water and medicine.

The Jersey Disaster Appeal, following the Nepal earthquake, is being launched today by the Bailiff, Mr William Bailhache in response to the humanitarian disaster in Nepal and the huge public interest in delivering aid to victims of the earthquake which hit the community last Saturday 25th April 2015.

The Appeal has been established by the Bailiff to enable members of the public to make a donation to the immediate intensive emergency efforts being made to relieve the human suffering caused by the devestating earthquake which has prompted support from communities accross the world. Donations will be targeted to provide relief through the supply of clean water, sanitation, food, hygiene and medicines in Nepal and coordinated with the response of the Jersey Overseas Aid Commission which has already pledged £90,000.00.

Announcing the creation of the Appeal, the Bailiff has said-

“What has happened in Nepal is clearly a human tragedy on a massive scale and I am sure that Jersey will be keen to show its support to those who so desperately need emergency supplies, be it in the form of essential medicine, clean drinking water, food or shelter.

Our thoughts are with the people of Nepal, those around the world who are desperately waiting news of lost loved ones, and those who are providing the front line emergency services operating in such difficult circumstances. It is of course, some relief to know that the two Jersey women in Nepal are believed to be safe and well.

It is also extremely welcome news that the Jersey Overseas Aid Commission has responded rapidly to this crisis by allocating £90,000.00 in emergency aid, and I am sure that many Islanders will also be donating to appeals which will help the people of Nepal rebuild their homes and their lives.

I hope that by establishing a public disaster appeal in this way, Islanders feel better able to make their contribution count in the knowledge that the funds raised will collectively be put to work to achieve the highest possible benefit for the people of Nepal in their hour of need.”
