SAMARITAN'S PURSE AIRLIFTS EMERGENCY RELIEF SUPPLIES TO GRENADA IN RESPONSE TO HURRICANE BERYL
BOONE, N.C., July 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Samaritan's Purse sent a Disaster Assistance Response Team (DART) along with more than 24 tons of life-saving supplies to the Caribbean. The N.C.-based organization stood up an Incident Management Team over the weekend as Hurricane Beryl began to strengthen, preparing to respond to the storm. Less than 24 hours after the hurricane made landfall, the Samaritan's Purse DC-8 cargo plane departed Greensboro, NC. with 600 rolls of tarp, 3,000 solar lights, a desalination water unit, 300 collapsible jerry cans, and a mobile medical unit. In addition to these emergency relief supplies, the cargo plane also transported 13 disaster response specialists to Grenada.
2024年7月2日,位於北卡羅來納州的撒瑪利亞慈善會(Samaritan's Purse)向加勒比地區派遣了一支災難應對響應小組(DART),並攜帶了超過24噸的救生物資。該組織在颶風Beryl開始加強時,於週末建立了一個事件管理團隊,準備應對這場風暴。在颶風登陸不到24小時後,撒瑪利亞慈善會的DC-8貨機從北卡羅來納州的格林斯伯勒起飛,裝載了600卷防水布,3000只太陽能燈,1臺海水淡化裝置,300個可摺疊桶裝水箱和1個醫療移動單元。除了這些緊急救援物資,貨機還運送了13名災害反應專家前往格林納達。
This rapid deployment and mobilization of humanitarian aid and resources is aimed at providing critical support to the island communities and families anticipated to be the most affected by the storm. Most importantly, Samaritan's Purse is deploying to bring help and the hope of Jesus Christ to families who are grappling with severe loss in the aftermath of the storm.
這種快速部署和動員人道主義援助和資源的方法旨在爲預計受到風暴影響最嚴重的島上社區和家庭提供關鍵支持。最重要的是,撒瑪利亞慈善會的部署旨在爲在風暴後期與嚴重損失作鬥爭的家庭帶來幫助和耶穌基督的希望。
"Hurricane Beryl pummeled the Windward Islands, and left thousands of families in need of emergency relief," said Franklin Graham, president of Samaritan's Purse. "We started building out pallets of cargo before the hurricane even made landfall and are now on the way with life-saving aid. Please join me in praying for the families who are in the path of this storm, and for our Samaritan's Purse staff who will be serving them."
“颶風Beryl摧毀了風暴島嶼,導致數千家庭需要緊急援助,” 撒瑪利亞慈善會總裁弗蘭克·格雷厄姆(Franklin Graham)說,“我們在颶風登陸之前就開始制定貨物搭載計劃,現在正帶着救生物資出發。請加入我們的祈禱,爲那些身處風暴路徑的家庭和正在爲他們服務的撒瑪利亞慈善會工作人員祈禱。”“撒瑪利亞的醫生”主席弗蘭克林·格雷厄姆說。颶風Beryl在格林納達登陸時是4級颶風,是有記錄以來最早登陸的颶風,迅速升級到5級,給風暴島嶼帶來了毀滅性的洪水、高風險損壞和停電。撒瑪利亞慈善會正在爲那些遭受嚴重破壞的地區分發緊急住所材料,並設置水過濾系統,以解決許多地區無法獲得清潔水的問題。該組織正在與當地教堂合作伙伴協調,這些教堂是通過撒瑪利亞慈善會的聖誕孩子項目開展工作的。
Hurricane Beryl, which made landfall in Grenada as a Category 4 hurricane—the earliest on record—quickly grew in strength to a Category 5, bringing devastating floods, high-wind damage, and power outages to the Windward Islands. Samaritan's Purse is preparing to distribute emergency shelter material and to set up water filtration systems in areas that have been heavily damaged and are now without access to clean water. The organization is coordinating with local church partners in the area that Samaritan's Purse has worked with through its project Operation Christmas Child.
颶風伯利於葛林納達島降落時是四級颶風,記錄中最早的記錄,迅速增強到五級,帶來毀滅性洪水,高風損壞和斷電給風沙群島帶來影響。撒瑪利亞的醫生正在準備分發緊急住房材料並在受到嚴重破壞並且現在無法接觸到乾淨水源的地區建立水過濾系統。該組織正在與當地的教堂合作伙伴協調,這些教堂是撒瑪利亞的醫生通過其“聖誕兒童行動”項目合作的地區。
