The Federation’s mission is to improve the lives of vulnerable people by mobilizing the power of humanity. It is the world’s largest humanitarian organization and its millions of volunteers are active in over 183 countries.

In Brief

THIS REVISED EMERGENCY APPEAL SEEKS CHF 38,045,439 (USD 31 MILLION OR EUR 24 MILLION) IN CASH, KIND, OR SERVICES TO ASSIST 325,000 BENEFICIARIES FOR 12 MONTHS.

A timely and generous donor response to the preliminary appeal (now CHF 20 million, including hard and provisional pledges) has enabled an effective response operation. Assessments continue on relief and longer-term recovery needs, and a revised plan of action is in preparation, to be issued in the coming weeks. The Federation encourages cash contributions (a further CHF 18 million is required) to allow maximum flexibility in assisting the Indonesian Red Cross (Palang Merah Indonesia, or PMI) to deliver the planned assistance to the affected population."
