Asian Disasters Worsened by Climate, Migration
Exacerbated
by climate change, urban migration, and lack of preparedness, natural
disasters in Asia are growing in severity, frequency and damage. During
the first 11 years of the 21st century nearly 8 out of ten people
affected by natural disasters worldwide lived in India or China.
Give2Asia's
senior program officer and disaster response lead, Gillian Yeoh
recently wrote on the impact of natural disasters on vulnerable
populations in Asia in Investing in Asia, a periodical distributed within USA Today.
In the article, she explores the statistics and stories of disasters in
Asia, both from her work in disaster response and growing up on the
coast of peninsular Malaysia. You can read the full story from Gillian Yeoh here, or, learn more about disaster philanthropy in Give2Asia's video, Basic Tips for Disaster Giving.
