[WSMDiscuss] Chiapas and Oaxaca earthquake: how to help

Wed Sep 13 23:58:16 CEST 2017

Wednesday, September 13, 2017

Greetings Martin, and muchos gracias for doing and posting this translation within hours of Avijit Wasi / another list member on WSMDiscuss requesting that I do this !  Among other things, as a list admin who is a little overrun with having too many things on his plate, I deeply appreciate this solidarity and engagement with this list as a list – as a community.  But more importantly, by your doing so your post on the important news from Chiapas and on what is happening there at this tragic moment, has reached out – on this largely English-speaking list – to a much larger number of people.

I am taking the liberty of also posting this comment on a number of other international lists, where I know that there are people who will want to see this post of yours.

            Gracias !

            JS

The affected areas are strategic within the neoliberal plans: The Tehuantepec Itsmo, who have defended their territory against the wind projects and now also against the Special Economic Zones and the mines. The thing is not very different in Chiapas.

They and other regional and national organizations for territorial defense believe that  this disaster is going to be used by big corporations for the territorial occupation, profiting from reconstruction and helping in exchange of support to parties and votes (clientelistic cooptation).

Such is the case of the Indigenous Peoples' Assembly of the Isthmus in Defense of the Land and the Territory <http://tierrayterritorio.wordpress.com/> (see bellow for their account).

> At least 96 people died as a result of the damage caused by the magnitude 8.2 quake of Tehuantepec that shook southern and central Mexico on the night of September 7-8, 2017: 76 in the state of Oaxaca, 16 in Chiapas and 4 in Tabasco. It had until now 1,266 replicas located in the coast of Chiapas.
> 
> In Chiapas, the most affected villages are the seaside ones  of Tonalá and Pijijiapan. In Tonalá, about 30 homes collapsed and 3000 homes are reported to have suffered partial damages. Around 4,000 people are in temporary shelters in the municipality of Tonalá, both those who lost their homes and those who had to leave their damaged homes because of the risk of future earthquakes.
> 
> "Many families have lost everything and need our support. Now the shelters are full, because by the strong réplica in the September 11-12 night, many more families had to leave their homes," explains Nataniel Hernández, from the Center for Human Rights Digna Ochoa AC "food is needed in shelters but help is coming in very slowly." The Human Rights Center Digna Ochoa A.C. coordinates the collection of funds to support the victims of the coast of Chiapas togetehr with the Regional Autonomous Council of the Coast of Chiapas and the Tonalteco Civic Front. The latter is housing about 50 people in their offices.

> It is urgent to send the following food to the shelters: food (preferably canned), water bottles, personal care items (soap, towels, sanitary napkins, diapers ...), basic medicines (diarrhea, headache, influenza) and light sheets.

> Como ustedes sabrán, en México aconteció un temblor de 8.1º de intensidad, provocando muchos daños;  el apoyo gubernamental es condicionado y clientelar. Las zonas afectadas son  estratégicas dentro de los planes neoliberales: El Itsmo de Tehuantepec,  quienes han defendido su territorio contra los proyectos eólicos y ahora también contra las Zonas Económicas especiales y las minas. En Chiapas la cosa no es muy distinta.

> Los compañeros de las organizaciones de base se están levantando pero requieren de nuestro apoyo.  La lectura de ellos y de muchas otras organizaciones regionales y nacionales por la defensa territorial,  es que la desgracia se va ha utilizar para la ocupación territorial de las empresas, la ganancia en la reconstrucción y la cooptación clientelar  para garantizar el voto del partido que sea.

> Por los menos 96 personas fallecieron a causa de los daños provocados por el "sismo de Tehuantepec" de magnitud 8.2 que sacudió el sur y el centro de México en la noche del 7 al 8 de septiembre 2017: 76 en el estado de Oaxaca, 16 en Chiapas y 4 en Tabasco. Tuvo hasta ahora 1,266 réplicas localizadas en las costas de Chiapas.
> 
> En Chiapas, los pueblos más afectados se encuentran en los municipios costeros de Tonalá y Pijijiapan. En Tonalá, alrededor de 30 casas colapsaron y se reportan 3000 viviendas con daños parciales. Alrededor de 4.000 personas se encuentran en albergues temporales en el municipio de Tonalá, tanto las que perdieron sus casas como las que tuvieron que dejar sus casas dañadas por el riesgo que representan las réplicas.
> 
> "Muchas familias se encuentran sin nada y necesitan de nuestro apoyo. Ahora los albergues están llenos, ya que por la fuerte réplica de la noche del 11 al 12 de septiembre, muchas familias más tuvieron que salir de sus viviendas", explica Nataniel Hernández, del Centro de Derechos Humanos Digna Ochoa A.C. "Se requieren despensas en los albergues pero la ayuda está llegando muy lentamente." El Centro de Derechos Humanos Digna Ochoa A.C. coordina la recaudación de fondos en apoyo a los damnificados de la costa de Chiapas con el Consejo Autónomo Regional de la Costa de Chiapas y el Frente Cívico Tonalteco. Ese último está albergando a unas 50 personas en sus oficinas.
> 
> Urge hacer llegar las siguientes despensas a los albergues: alimentos (enlatados de preferencia), garrafones de agua, productos para aseo personal (jabón, toallas, toallas higiénicas, pañales...), medicamentos básicos (diarrea, dolor de cabeza, gripa) y sábanas ligeras.
