Responding to Tornadoes in the US

In February, tornadoes displaced hundreds of people in five US states.

Tornadoes and violent storms ripped through parts of the Mid-South in February, causing more than 65 casualties and leaving hundreds homeless throughout Arkansas, Kentucky, Alabama, Mississippi and Tennessee. AmeriCares worked with our partners, the Christian Appalachian Project, Nestlé Waters, and Kraft Foods, to deliver emergency aid and food to the regions affected.
