A tsunami resulting from a magnitude 8.0 earthquake in the South Pacific has destroyed entire villages. As of 10/1, the death toll is 150 in American Samoa, Samoa and Tonga.
This Fund will work with project partners to supply displaced residents with food, shelter, and other basic necessities in the wake of the disaster. Officials fear the death toll will rise as they reach more remote areas.
Provide food, water, emergency medical supplies and housing to residents displaced and affected by the earthquake and tsunami in the South Pacific which caused heavy damage and leveled entire villages.
Help residents of American Samoa, Samoa and Tonga recover from the severe effects of this earthquake and tsunami.
"I thought it was the end of the world. I have never felt an earthquake like that before."
- Salamo Laumoli, Director of Health Services: LBJ Trop. Medical Ctr
