As the relief and recovery operation gears up across Asia, the Disasters Emergency Committee announced that money donated by the British public to the joint agency Appeal has topped £60 million, and that pledges are still streaming in.

Brendan Gormley, DEC Chief Executive said: “This amazing generosity means that DEC agencies will be able to rebuild survivors’ lives and livelihoods. We know that millions of people are having to come to terms with terrible loss. The agencies will be working tirelessly to restore shattered lives, but this will take time. This is a marathon, not a sprint.”
