Humanity First Teams From UK & Germany visit Indonesian

Tsunami Victims
On the 20th October 2018, a delegation of Humanity First International visited affected areas
following the devastating earthquake and tsunami last month. In the week-long visit, the delegation
met with the Humanity First Indonesia team on the ground and personally met a number of the
disaster victims in Palu.

The delegation comprised of Nasir Amini from Bradford (Humanity First International), Tahir Ahmad
from East London (Humanity First International), Najm Khan from Farnborough (Humanity First UK)
and Tariq Karim from Griesheim (Humanity First Germany).

Heading up the site visit, Nasir Amini said,

“It’s heart breaking seeing the devastation caused and the amount of people affected by it. As a
father of young children, I was very affected by the number of children suffering and who have been
displaced. I was able to see first hand the hard work that Humanity First Indonesia are continuing to
do, putting your donated funds to good use.”
