September 19, 2007 U.S. to Provide Additional Funds to Help Victims of Earthquakes on Sumatra The United States Government, through the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), will provide an additional US $ 200,000 to support emergency efforts in response to the September 12 earthquakes which struck Bengkulu and West Sumatra provinces. This contribution is in addition to a recent U.S. Government contribution of US$100,000 to assist people who were evacuated due to the quakes. The additional U.S. Government assistance will be provided to Mercy Corps, CARE and SurfAid International to support emergency care and response activities already in progress, such as the provision of emergency shelters, hygiene and clean up kits, and safe water. These activities will now be expanded to cover additional villages which were not immediately known to have suffered damage. The U.S. is also assisting in the mobilization of emergency response units and medical personnel of the two NGOs – International Medical Corps and Ambulan 118 Emergency Ambulance Service.
