THE CHURCH WORLD SERVICE: EMERGENCY RESPONSE PROGRAM
EMERGENCY APPEAL REVISION: SOUTHEAST ASIA TSUNAMI AND EARTHQUAKE
YEAR-TWO RESPONSE (2006)
Appeal Number: 6970
Appeal Goal Amount: $15.23 million
December 12, 2005


(This revised appeal outlines a continuation of CWS activities through
2006, year two of its response to the SE Asia Tsunami and Nias
Earthquake.)

Situation Re-Cap:

The massive earthquake and resulting tsunami that was centered near the
northwestern coast of Sumatra, Indonesia in December 2004, affected over
a dozen countries on the Indian Ocean. Hardest hit was Indonesia's Aceh
province, with 130,000 confirmed dead, more than 37,000 missing/presumed
dead, more than 500,000 persons displaced--150,000 of which still reside
in tents.  Also badly hit -- Sri Lanka, with 30,957 confirmed dead,
5,637 missing, and more than 400,000 displaced; and India, with 10,749
confirmed dead, 5,646 missing, and more than 300,000 displaced.
Further, in March 2005 a strong earthquake occurred that had devastating
impact on Nias Island, Indonesia.

The impact on coastal fishing communities and fisherfolk, some of the
poorest people in the region, has been devastating with widespread loss
of income, boats and fishing gear.  Damage to infrastructure and
destruction to agriculture is also an overriding factor.  In some areas,
family and community wells, water treatment facilities and pipe networks
will take years to restore.

The emotional and psychological trauma experienced by many of the
survivors, especially women and children, and those who lost loved ones
is overwhelming.

Emergency Appeal:

In response to this disaster and the additional impact of the March 2005
earthquake that rocked Nias Island, the CWS Indonesia office, in
collaboration with other local non-governmental organizations, continues
its commitment to addressing basic needs (food, shelter, water,
medicine) and now begins implementing its post-crisis work with
long-term reconstruction, rehabilitation, and capacity building projects
already underway and planned throughout 2006.

CWS will also be providing additional financial support for the
post-crisis work of partner organizations and Action by Churches
Together (ACT) members Churches Auxiliary for Social Action (CASA) in
India, and the National Christian Council of Sri Lanka (NCCSL).
