ADRA Mexico will be focusing on shelter and food as the response gets underway following the 8.2 magnitude earthquake that hit the Southern coast of Mexico on September 7.
Close to 2 million people have been affected by the massive quake, with the death toll already nearing 100. Strong, ongoing aftershocks are adding to the damage and impeding efforts to begin the recovery process.
ADRA’s team in Mexico have already begun initial assessments and are reporting huge needs for shelter, as thousands of homes have been damaged or destroyed, and food.
