Sewa International USA Mobilizes Relief Efforts for Southeast Asian Earthquake Victims
HOUSTON, April 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Sewa International USA has launched immediate relief operations following the catastrophic 7.7 magnitude earthquake, followed by a powerful 6.4 magnitude aftershock that struck Southeast Asia on March 28. As a leading global humanitarian organization, Sewa has activated its emergency response teams to provide critical aid to devastated communities in Thailand.
The earthquake has claimed over 2,700 lives and left thousands injured amid widespread destruction across Thailand, Laos, and parts of southern China. In Bangkok, Thailand, rescuers are trying to save over 70 people trapped under the rubble of a collapsed 30-story building. In Laos, remote villages have been cut off from aid due to damaged infrastructure, while southern China has reported significant damage to buildings and roadways. Survivors across the region face acute shortages of shelter, food, and medical care. Sewa International's teams are working alongside local partners to address these urgent needs.
