AAR Japan dispatches staff members for relief activities for the victims of the earthquake and tsunami

TOKYO (March 11, 2011) A massive earthquake hit Japan at 2:46 pm, March 11, immediately followed by repeating waves of devastating tsunami. The Tohoku (north-east) region has been seriously affected. More than 1,000 people have lost their lives and many are still missing.

This disaster was triggered by an 8.9-magnitude earthquake. It is said to be nearly 8,000 times stronger than the one which hit Christchurch, New Zealand last month.

AAR JAPAN dispatches its staff members to the disaster-stricken area and provides support to the afflicted people.

AAR JAPAN is a Japanese NGO established in 1979 to support Indo-Chinese refugees. Since then, AAR JAPAN has been engaged in emergency relief operations to the victims of disasters, including those affected by Kobe Earthquake and Mid-Niigata Prefecture Earthquake which hit Japan in 1995 and in 2004 respectively.
