From last December's devastating Indian Ocean tsunami to the latest earthquake in Kashmir, from floods in Bangladesh to drought in Cambodia, natural disasters have claimed more Asian lives in the past 12 months than in any of the past 12 years. While families grieve for loved ones and communities pull themselves back on their feet, there is a glimmer of hope amidst so much suffering. Despite the tremendous strain that Asian nations have suffered, govern-ments in the region are demonstrating their seriousness about emergency response. That no one died from a `'second wave'' of starvation or disease in the aftermath of the tsunami is testament to this heightened commitment. Governments from around the region rallied to offer practical and financial aid to the countries hit by the tsunami. Singapore and Malaysia offered crucial air support in the initial days of the tsunami relief effort. Thailand offered support abroad while helping its own people. China sent canned fish to Sri Lanka through the World Food Programme (WFP) _ the first donation of its kind via a multilateral channel _ in addition to numerous bilateral contributions.SMSAutoTerrorismBiologicalUNbodiesVietnamNaturalDisastersSriLankaThailandIraqFoodSecurityFoodAidChinaFoodSafetySingaporeIndonesiaAgricultureFishingForestryRKWCommunicableDiseasesAfghanistanIndiaBangladeshTRKWBangladeshCambodiaMalaysiaBangkokPost-f7463c4f545c14db72b721654aaf6c0b200510242143002005-10-21T05:22+020020051021http://www.reliefweb.int/rw/RWB.NSF/db900SID/RMOI-6HD3AS?OpenDocumentreliefWebenBEIJING, Oct. 20 (APP): China is considering to increase relief aid to Pakistan for alleviating the sufferings of the earthquake's victims, said spokesman of the Chinese Foreign Ministry Kong Quan.
