South Asia Earthquake Photo Library
These images of the aftermath of the earthquake that struck India and Pakistan were taken in January-February, 2001. They can be reproduced for promotion of earthquake relief and recovery by members of the ACT network provided they are credited appropriately. A link back to UMCOR's South Asia Emergency page is appreciated.
UMCOR is responding through Action by Churches Together (ACT), a worldwide alliance of about 200 Protestant and Orthodox churches and aid agencies, and through Church's Auxiliary for Social Action (CASA) in India. Because so many relief agencies are responding in urban areas, CASA and ACT are focusing their earthquake efforts on the region's poorest citizens living in remote communities close to the epicenter. In addition to losing loved ones, homes and belongings, people have lost their jobs as the quake destroyed factories and other sources of employment. Your gifts to Advance #274305 designated "South Asia Earthquake" will be used for in the rebuilding work which will take years.
