SAVE THE CHILDREN:
Japan is in a state of emergency. An 9.0 magnitude earthquake rocked Japan on March 11, 2011, triggering a deadly tsunami. At the Fukushima nuclear plant, the quake caused massive explosions which threaten surrounding communities. Japanese media report that the death toll is rising. Thousands remain missing in the aftermath of the tragic disasters.
Save the Children has a team in Sendai, one of the worst-affected areas, establishing an operations base to help the most vulnerable children and their families.
