US envoy announces relief for flood victims | US Ambassador to India Timothy J. Roemer today announced that the United
States will contribute 100,000 dollars as assistance to victims of the recent
floods in southern and western India. On behalf of the American people, Ambassador
Roemer offered his condolences to the families of those killed and to those rendered
homeless in the disaster. "The heart-breaking personal loss, the destruction of
homes and property, and the loss of cattle and crops have been devastating," the
Ambassador said. "Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families
during this time of great loss and tragedy." Over the past seven years, the U.S.
has provided over 16 million dollars for disaster management activities in India,
working in partnership with Indian disaster experts to share knowledge and expertise,
improve disaster preparedness, and protect India's most vulnerable citizens. |
