Africa & Middle East

Chad is one of the poorest countries in the world. With one of the highest infant and maternal mortality rates, life expectancy in the country is 48 years. Affected by years of regional strife and resulting migration and with few health care resources, Chad has relied on humanitarian agencies to provide for large numbers of Sudanese refugees fleeing the violence in Darfur.

In 2003, AmeriCares responded to a 6.6 magnitude earthquake that struck southeastern Iran's Kerman province. In the immediate days following the disaster, AmeriCares airlifted 77,000 pounds of emergency supplies valued at approximately $5 million to the region. The shipment included urgently requested items such as tents, blankets, water purification tablets, antibiotics, local anesthetics and analgesics as well as World Health Organization (WHO) New Emergency Health Kits. The epicenter of the earthquake was located near the ancient city of Bam, located roughly 600 miles southeast of Tehran, where over 90% of the buildings were destroyed. The earthquake killed an estimated 26,000 people and injured 50,000 people.
