NIAS NEED YOUR HELP

Ten days after the earthquake there has only been minimal international aid arriving in the island of Nias.

Of the few that has arrived the most that can be done was only in the form of area surveys.

Nias is located 125 km off west Sumatera Island on the Indian Ocean, part of North Sumatera Province also hit by Tsunami, the number of dead or missing victims is not as great as in Aceh but the situation is not better, houses, boats destroyed leaving more than 6000 families homeless.

Reported in 3rd Jan that: NO FORM OF OFFICIAL INTERNATIONAL AID WHATSOEVER HAS ARRIVED ON NIAS.
