--------------------------
The number of natural disasters occurring world-wide has increased rapidly in recent decades. In 1984 there were 35 recorded natural disasters - that number more than tripled by 2002, with just over 100 being recorded by the United Nations.
World Vision has enhanced its disaster mitigation and response efforts accordingly, working alongside many other agencies and NGO's committed to addressing human needs resulting from suffering caused by war and internal conflict, food insecurity, displacement, volcanic eruptions, sever drought, fires, earthquakes and floods.
In 2006, World Vision implemented major emergency responses in 63 countries. Dozens of smaller responses were also carried out.
In the past few years, World Vision has launched large-scale relief operations in the southern Africa region, Ethiopia, Liberia, Sudan, Iran and for the Asia Tsunami.
