MUMBAI:
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has donated $1 million
in financial support for relief and recovery efforts in the
regions which have been affected by the Chinese earthquake.
The
donation will be channelled through Bocog, the Beijing Organising Committee for
the 2008 Olympic Games, who will distribute support to the appropriate relief
organisations. IOC
president Jacques Rogge says, "I feel deeply for those affected and join
in solidarity with the people of China. This appears to be a major disaster, the
scale of which is only just becoming apparent. We send our deepest felt condolences
to the victims and their families." |
