Christadelphians coping in Nepal

Latest update from Nepal:

Bro. Jonathan & Sis. Jocelyn Wallace (ACBM) have been in contact with the ecclesia and report as follows:

Thursday 30/4/2015 – I have been on the phone to Brother Tarjan. Sister Nanu has gone into labour with her and brother Raju's first child they are trying to get her into the hospital, it is very hard as you can imagine at present as the hospitals are all overloaded.

Three brothers have left to travel for Sitali by motorbike. It's believed the village has been wiped out. Many of our brothers and sister have lost their homes. On Tuesday I found out that brother Nar was missing with his two children, but they are now accounted for and are safe.

Friday 1/5/2015 AM – I have spoken with the brothers and sister again. They are trying to help as many as possible and have spent a fair bit of money on essentials - food, water, & clothes etc. Some of the brothers have visited ecclesias in some remote areas taking food money and clothes. They also held a breaking of bread with brothers and sisters. Today they received the A$4,000 that was sent earlier in the week.

Friday 1/5/2015 PM – The brothers traveling to Sitali have reached there and report that the houses have extensive damage but the brothers and sisters are ok. They are helping the village having taken as much supplies as they can carry. They have also had a breaking of bread. The houses of many Kathmandu brothers & sisters have cracks as has the Hall at Chabahil. Sister Nanu is now in hospital in labour. Brother Raju and his mother and some of the sisters are there. Sister Kalawati said they have been helping as many as possible with food blankets and whatever they have. They have been using their own money for this.

ABCM contacts for Nepal: Brother Jonathan and Sister Jocelyn Wallace. Surplus funds from the Vanuatu Cyclone appeal are being redirected to Nepal.

• World › Aid begins arriving in Nepal's remote quake-hit villages (japantoday.com)
  The first supplies of food aid began reaching remote, earthquake-shattered mountain villages in Nepal on Wednesday, while thousands clamored to board buses out of Kathmandu, either to check on rural relatives or for fear of spending yet another night in the damaged capital.
  Frustration over the slow delivery of humanitarian aid boiled over in a protest in the city, with about 200 people facing off with police and blocking traffic.
  The protest was comparatively small and no demonstrators were detained. But it reflected growing anger over bottlenecks that delayed much-needed relief four days after the powerful earthquake that killed more than 5,000 people, injured twice that many and left tens of thousands homeless. Police, meanwhile, arrested dozens of people on suspicion of looting or causing panic by spreading rumors of another big quake.

  Most of the aid so far has been distributed to Nepal’s earthquake victims in and around the capital, Kathmandu.  People living close to the epicenter of the quake, in remote towns and villages along the foothills of the Himalayas, have been virtually cut off from aid.
  Landslides and rock falls have destroyed roads, putting these areas out of reach.  The only way to reach these rural inhabitants is by helicopter. Relief supplies now are being flown in and distributed to the survivors of this disaster.
  The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies reports it is increasingly focusing its humanitarian operations on these outlying areas.  The organization says its large network of volunteers is carrying out assessments of needs. 
  
• NEPAL - Religions united for earthquake victims: We are all brothers and sisters (asianews.it)
  The government itself has admitted to not having the means and preparation to respond to an emergency of this kind, and the displaced are still sleeping in the open for fear of further building collapses. Medicines, food, drinking water and even clean clothes are lacking. Given this situation, the Apostolic Vicar of Nepal Msgr. Paul Simick proposed to other religions to unite "to be more effective."
  
  Officials of the local Caritas will lead the operation, supported by Caritas India and Australia. At the moment, dozens of religious NGOs have responded positively to the appeal. According to Bishop Narayan Sharma, the faithful of the Church (Protestant), " prayers are not enough to heal an open wound and do not feed those who live outdoors. Prayer is fundamental, but it is important also to serve those in need. We still need international support. "

  "In each food bag there are 22 small packs which contain a variety of food, which may be consumed for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
