Millions face another cold night without water, food or heating while the fear of a nuclear meltdown continues to rise. The death toll is now in the thousands and continues to rise by the hour.
Deployed Convoy of Hope disaster responders will stage initial relief efforts from Manila, Philippines, as officials work to contain radiation exposure at Japan’s nuclear power plants and reopen air traffic.
“Our primary concern is to be sure that we have the right equipment and supplies for the situation,” says Kary Kingsland, senior vice president of Global Initiatives for Convoy of Hope.

Convoy of Hope will focus on getting water, food and emergency supplies to people in desperate need in the devastated areas. We are communicating with our in-country partners in Japan and other relief organizations to determine where our resources will make the greatest impact. Decisions will be made in the coming hours.
The deployment team is carrying in 100 water filtration units to distribute and will be securing food and supplies in the region.
“Financial gifts have the greatest impact,” stated Kingsland. “Convoy of Hope will use those gifts to help as many people as possible in this time of urgency.”
