Update on the situation

Plusieurs de nos ONG partenaires suisses, dont Médecins Sans Frontières, Caritas, EPER, Helvetas, Save the Children et Terre des Hommes, sont déjà actives sur le terrain en Birmanie.

Bien que certaines d’entre elles aient elles-mêmes été touchées par le séisme, ces organisations sont en mesure de fournir rapidement une aide d’urgence aux populations affectées, sous forme d’eau, de nourriture et de kits d’hygiène. 

Nous restons en contact étroit avec nos partenaires de confiance afin d’apporter une aide efficace et rapide. Une fois la phase d’aide d’urgence déployée, notre soutien sera adapté en fonction des besoins sur place.
 

Although the full extent of the damage has not yet been established, it is already clear that a large number of people have been affected. Several of our NGO partners are present in the affected regions and are mobilising to provide emergency assistance to the victims.

    "Thanks to a deep understanding of the context and longstanding collaborations, our partners are able to assess people’s needs and provide immediate relief despite the obstacles standing in their way."
