FLOOD RELIEF TO INDIA

India has been inundated with heavy rains resulting in the heaviest flooding in over 22 years. An estimated 600 people have died in the floods which have affected 17 million people, leaving thousands of people homeless and helpless, having lost all of their belongings. "The situation is still quite critical. Its a huge disaster," Fernando Soares, a spokesman for the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies told the Reuters News Agency.

Outbreaks of waterborne diseases are expected to increase. Halogen tablets used to treat contaminated water and medical teams are being sent throughout the region to minimize, as much as possible, diseases related to contaminated water. Food supplies as well as medicines, medical supplies, tents and other similar supplies are continuously being obtained for transport to this area.

SOUTH AFRICA FAMINE

Fourteen million people are at risk of starvation in southern Africa, as a prolonged drought has parched the land that has traditionally met the needs of the people in southern Africa. Livestock have died, water supplies have dried up, and thousands of farmers have had to move closer to the cities, turning many of them into refugees in their own countries. Thousands of those migrating to the cities never made it.

With the shortfall of crops, mainly caused by this extended drought, fourteen million people are dependent on sustained food assistance. That means they have no way of feeding themselves, and they must rely on donors from around the world to help in distributing food to them, as this crisis could turn catastrophic.

It is the worst drought since 1991 and 1992. If rains don't arrive, the drought may take thousands of more lives, as was the situation in 1985 and 1986 when thousands of lives were lost in "The Great Drought of Africa".

In 1986 and '87, we flew millions of pounds of food, as well as medical supplies to remote villages where the food and supplies were distributed directly to the affected people.

Just $40.00 will feed two families for one month. Its such a relatively small amount to save lives. Please partner with us, and do what you can. For the $40.00 per month, each of us individually can make the difference between life, or starvation, for these families. If we don't, then who?

"But they that wait upon the Lord, shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles...

ETHIOPIA FAMINE

AVIATION
LINKS

Ethiopia  continues to experience a drought that threatens millions of lives. The Ethiopian government has again requested that CPA, through our sister organization; Mercy Airlift, assist in providing food supplies to Ethiopia, where an estimated 6 million people are at risk of starving.

A multi-year drought has forced these people to consume their own grain, and then because the soil is too dry to grow anything, to have to sell their cattle, farm tools, and plows to buy food. When there is no other ability to feed themselves the families walk for days and weeks to feeding stations where they can receive food and sustenance. Because of the remote locations of the starving people and the feeding stations established to feed them, and because of the condition of the roads to these sites, it is not possible to transport food supplies to these feeding stations by surface transportation. Mercy Airlift is continuing it's efforts to alleviate this problem.

MEDICAL AIRLIFTS TO MEXICO

As many of you know, we have been working in Mexico for the past 30 years, building churches, supporting missionaries in their efforts to deliver tracks, medicines, and other supplies.

We continue to operate medical airlift flights to rural and remote villages in Mexico where medical supplies and facilities are simply not available.

Several times each year we dispatch special Medical Aircraft to rural and remote areas of Mexico. These flights transport Doctors, Nurses and Specialty Medical Personnel to augment the services available at the government clinics and hospitals. They also transport medicines and medical equipment that would not otherwise be available to small clinics and their patients.
