Story number 4 for 9 Feb 2000

Elsewhere, Food for the Hungry continues to seek ways to aid flood victims in
Venezuela through partnerships with local churches and organizations. The
devastation left by the disaster left an official death toll thought to exceed 30,000, with
200,00 people left homeless and a total of 600,000 affected by the flooding. In
response, the organization is working with a local congregation to help deliver water
and other vital supplies to flood victims by truck, car and even on foot in areas that are
still inaccessible by vehicle.
