Gujarat Earthquake - one year anniversary
One year ago, on January 26, a devastating earthquake struck the Indian state of Gujarat causing mass destruction. Over 20,000 people were killed and hundreds of thousands were left homeless. A year later, the people of towns and villages in the affected area are working hard to rebuild their lives, despite continuing hardship. The India Red Cross, supported by the International Federation, is continuing its three-year rehabilitation programme which includes the construction of a 200 bed hospital in the town of Bhuj and 250 village kindergartens as well as the implementation of integrated health programmes and the rehabilitation of traditional water harvesting reservoirs. |
