Dear friends,

The Asian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) shares the grief of those faced with one of the worst natural catastrophes of recent times by way of the tsunamis that devastated several countries such as India, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Indonesia, the Maldives, Myanmar and Malaysia. In particular, it is reported that over 18,000 people were killed in Sri Lanka only out of the approximate death toll of 60,000.  

Today, the Sri Lankan Ministry of Health (MoH) identified a list of required medical items to deal with the aftermath of the tsunami. For your information, the AHRC attaches the list below. Those who want to contribute can contact the Central Operations and Coordination Unit in the MoH headed by the Additional Secretary of Health at (94) 11 2691605, 2693175 or 2675449. Coordinators have been appointed for key areas such as medical supplies, transport, communicable diseases, etc. The Unit will be operational 24 hours a day and will coordinate the health sector response. All other agencies have been requested to inform the Unit as to their activities. Information will be updated on the Ministry website. www.health.gov.lk and UNDP website: http://www.undp.lk/ndmc/ 

If any assistance is needed, you may contact the AHRC.
