Relief groups mobilize to aid Japan
As the extent of the death and destruction from the massive disaster
in Japan came into focus, religious relief organizations were sending
and supporting teams to assess the damage.
Groups such as World
Vision and Baptist World Aid had teams on the ground determining what
kinds of experts and supplies will be needed in the recovery from the
earthquake and tsunami that struck March 11.
Rachel Wolff, a
spokeswoman for World Vision, said a relief manager who had worked at
the scenes of earthquakes in Haiti and Pakistan was stunned by the
extent of the destruction. "He told me that this was unlike anything
he's seen anywhere around the world," she said.
