Relief for families hit by China earthquake

Plan teams are delivering emergency relief to families affected by the earthquake which hit north-west China on Monday.

Over 58,000 homes have been damaged or destroyed and more than 332,300 people have been affected in Gansu Province.

"Everything started shaking," says 7-year-old Li, one of many children who have been forced from their homes and are now living in tents with their families.

Plan deployed an assessment team to the affected zone the day the earthquake hit and is supporting 1,000 of the worst-affected households - including Li’s - with emergency relief kits.

"Everything started shaking," says seven-year-old Li, one of the children affected by an earthquake that was 6.6 on the Richter scale, which hit north west China early on Monday 22 July.

Seven-year-old Li is just one of the children from that same village who has been affected. "Everything started shaking," she says of the earthquake which began on the morning of July 22nd.

Looking to the long-term in Haiti

Three years after the 2010 earthquake, Haiti has turned a corner and Plan is shifting the focus of its work to long-term development. “The road to recovery will be a long one but Plan is here for the long haul.

Much progress in Haiti 3 years after the earthquake

Plan has announced that it is shifting the focus of its work in Haiti to a recovering and rebuilding mode after a prolonged period of emergency response.
