Australian Red Cross is raising funds to help local Red Cross and Red Crescent teams across the region scale up their emergency response, and continue their life-saving work on the ground. Donations will go towards supporting our local partners across the Asia Pacific to scale up their emergency response to these COVID-19 surges and sustain their essential services such as health, water, sanitation and hygiene services for the worst impacted people and communities.
Right now, the situation across Asia Pacific is heartbreaking. Over the past week, countries in the Asia Pacific region have continued to experience new waves of COVID-19 infections, which are threatening to overwhelm hospitals and already fragile healthcare systems.
Daily new cases are still increasing in Fiji, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar and Bangladesh, resulting in a devastating number of infections and deaths. Overall, the Asia Pacific region has recorded over 41.3 million COVID-19 cases, and more than 605,000 deaths. People are losing loved ones and livelihoods are being destroyed.
Donations will go towards supporting our local partners across the Asia Pacific to scale up their emergency response to these COVID-19 surges and sustain their essential services such as health, water, sanitation and hygiene services for the worst impacted people and communities. Your generosity enables Australian Red Cross and the Red Cross movement to continue their activities to reduce COVID-19 transmission and support people who are most vulnerable to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
