We don't know whether they were in the village or not at the time of the disaster. But it must be feared that they died.

There is good news and bad news. We are trying to dig out a woman. We hope she is still alive.

We have just had a massive disaster, ... This is not a time to be cutting services to the most needy among us.

We all are touched by the disaster that went over the southern part of the U.S. This time it's not war, it's not terrorism, it's nature. I do hope … it will bring the peoples of all these counties more together,

This is the most expensive, worst and most complicated disaster that we've had to deal with for a long time.

Once again, victims of disaster have turned to the UN and the international community in their time of need, ... The world needs the UN's leadership in these times, and the UN needs the world's support. We are communicating with the UN and its agencies to learn where UN Foundation funds may be of greatest assistance to the UN's relief efforts.
