EFTHA concerns about the death and injuries in China from earthquake

The EFTHA is very much concerned about the death tolls and tens thousands of injured and homelessness in the aftermath of recent earthquake in China.

The EFTHA is extremely sympathetic to the situation on Chinese people in the rampaged region. EFTHA also witnesses immediately massive donation in medicines, foods, and goods from Taiwanese people in the last few days to China, and EFTHA supports the good wills of the Taiwanese to the Chinese suffering from this casualty. This reflects what had happened to Taiwan in 1999 for a detrimental earthquake in Nan-tou, which killed more than 2,000 citizens and students, while China blocked the international aids to Taiwan by all her means.

However, while Taiwanese are doing all they can to help China in recovering from the earthquake, EFTHA urges China's government be realistic and share their humanitarian concerns on the health rights, the rights to access better health care, and the rights to access to the World Health Organization and the global health network for all people in Taiwan.

It will be amazed to all to see that, while Taiwanese are doing as much as they could to help China, China's government might still make all the efforts to kill or eliminate the basic rights of Taiwanese to join the WHO in the coming week in Geneva.

Please write to EFTHA to express your concern and comments. ***
