Major Disaster relief
A major disaster be it a man-made disaster or
a natural disaster such as an earthquake can strike a heavily
populated area or the world, leaving thousands homeless, injured
and dead. To recover they need assistance from Mercy Airlift.
Economic losses often run into the billions of dollars.
Droughts, famines, fires, floods, tsunamis, explosions and
hurricanes all cause a tremendous loss of life and ruin fragile
economies.

Relief
In providing disaster relief for many years,
our experience shows us that securing air transportation is the
greatest problem in providing disaster relief aid and recovery
assistance and services. This is the reason Mercy operates its
own aircraft. We are able then to immediately respond to
disaster sites ensuring direct onsite distribution of
life-saving supplies, materials and equipment to those people
who need immediate assistance.
Organization
As we are the only organization in the
humanitarian services community to provide complete services and
air transportation, we are called upon by other organizations to
help them in the airlifting of their emergency supplies to the
disaster sites around the world.
