British Chamber Red Sludge Fund Raising In Hungary
- 27 Oct 2010 7:50 AM
"The British Chamber of Commerce in Hungary has decided to take action in an effort to help the 7,000 people directly affected by the disaster on 4 October 2010, when a chemical waste reservoir burst at the Ajkai Timföldgyár plant, releasing a flood of red sludge on the settlements nearby. To leave matters in able hands, we wish to direct your donations to the Hungarian Interchurch Aid, who (among others of course) have been providing emergency assistance to the victims of this ecological disaster.
They are now seeking funds for the second phase of their programme, which would provide long term assistance to those affected, with the main focus on reconstruction and rehabilitation.
