It is difficult to comprehend a disaster on the scale of that which has befallen Japan. As we watch from afar we see the situation unfolding and the reports of devastating destruction increasing. The scale of the human tragedy in Japan is now becoming apparent. Survivors are grieving and traumatised. Everything they knew has been washed away. Our hearts and our help are going out to them today. The people in Japan have responded heroically and with great fortitude. We are asking you to add a message of support today for the people of Japan to this online message board. We will forward on these messages to our colleagues in the Japanese Red Cross in support of all of the people in Japan at this difficult time. Thank you
