On 28 September 2018, a 7.4-magnitude earthquake had triggered a tsunami with 3m-high waves in Sulawesi, Indonesia. According to The Indonesian National Board for Disaster Management (BNPB), the death toll is now over 1,000, with at least 500 people seriously injured. Power and telecommunications to the region have been cut off and the roads are damaged, hampering search and rescue efforts. As assessment of damage is still ongoing, the number of casualties is expected to rise.

Mercy Relief will be conducting its first phase of emergency relief operations together with its ground partners to address the urgent needs of the disaster survivors.

Together with your help, we will be able to provide timely and effective aid to the affected communities in Sulawesi.
