Save the Children has made great strides to address the immediate emergency situation, but huge challenges remain. We are mounting an urgent effort to meet the winter-survival needs of earthquake-affected children and their families.
More Quotes from Bruce Rasmussen:

Medical supplies and support are needed as the injured begin to trickle out of the worst-hit areas. This trickle may soon turn into a flood.
