PAUL AND HEATHER MCCARTNEY INTERNATIONAL RESCUE COMMITEE STATEMENT – 13.01.2005 

As part of the British aid effort for victims of the tsunami Paul and Heather McCartney are donating a million pounds (£1m) to the International Rescue Committee UK.

The International Rescue Committee UK, who are « overwhelmed by this generous gesture », is an independent British charity, working in collaboration with the worldwide IRC network. As such, it is able to draw on an existing pool of national staff in the area supported by international experts, to deploy mobile emergency teams in Aceh Province, Indonesia. These teams have already started to provide essential medicines and safe drinking water, and to begin rehabilitating water and sanitation systems destroyed by the wave, in order to minimise further death from water-borne diseases. Aceh Province, in Indonesia, was one of the areas closest to the epicentre of the submarine earthquake, and was devastated when the tsunami struck.
