Red Cross support to those affected by the earthquake in China has been immediate. The Red Cross Society of China began providing emergency relief assistance immediately following the quake and members of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies are on the ground conducting emergency assessments to determine the needs of survivors.
The International Federation has already allocated approximately $250,000 from its International Disaster Relief Fund to support the Red Cross Society of China in delivering immediate assistance to those affected by the quake in Sichuan province.
The Canadian Red Cross is accepting donations from the Canadian public to support the relief efforts that are already underway.
Online donations to the Canadian Red Cross through our website are the fastest and most cost-efficient way of getting help to those affected.
More information on the evolving Red Cross response to the earthquake in China will be posted to our website as it becomes available.
Thank you for your support.
How Canadian donations will be transferred to China :
Donations to the Canadian Red Cross China Earthquake response will be used to support emergency relief efforts already underway in Sichuan province. Canadian Red Cross donations to this response will be transferred to the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies who will then distribute these funds to the Red Cross Society of China directly.
Members of the Federation are currently on the ground in China conducting emergency needs assessments. These assessments give the Federation the best information for how much money will be required to respond to the needs of those affected.. Donations to the Canadian Red Cross will then be transferred through the Federation to the Red Cross in China .
Canadians can rest assured that their donations will go directly to those affected by the recent earthquake in as timely a manner as possible.
