REPORT FROM THE INTERNATIONAL CHARITIES SUPPORT FOUNDATION (ICSF)

The last year has been a particularly busy one for the ICSF. Outlined below are a few of the areas we have been busy in.

1.Following 1................................................... rain in eastern Mozamlumbi in January, millions were made homeless as 2................................................... waters rose. The water also became polluted and there was a cholera 3...................................................as people continued to use it for drinking and cooking. Furthermore, as the harvest had been destroyed and there was not enough food to go round, 4................................................... became a problem. Charities around the world worked particularly hard to bring 5................................................... to the area.

2.Mount Etsuvius, the 6................................................... which had been dormant since 1968, 7................................................... suddenly in April. Thousands had to be evacuated to camps 30 miles from the disaster area. They still have not been rehoused.

3.The 8................................................... in the Caribbean in July, which saw wind speeds of up to 180 miles per hour, caused immense 9................................................... on many islands. Islands off the Japanese coast also suffered their worst 10................................................... in almost 30 years, with prolonged winds in excess of 150 miles per hour. There were many 11................................................... who had to be evacuated to hospitals which were not properly equipped to deal with the disasters.

4.The 12................................................... in the northern part of Somopia continued into its second year, with millions of acres of crops destroyed by lack of rain. Meanwhile, the 13................................................... between those loyal to the president and those supporting the rebel leader continued into its fifth year. 14................................................... from the conflict have been fleeing across the border, with stories of atrocities committed by both sides.

5.In October, a fire 15................................................... through Londum, the ancient capital of Perania. The 16........................................................, which probably started in a bakery, destroyed thousands of homes. There were several 17................................................... when the fire reached a fireworks factory, and a number of people were killed.

6.An outbreak of bubonic 18................................................... was reported in the eastern provinces of Indocuba in November. It is believed to have been caused by a sudden increase in the number of rats breeding in the sewers.

A full report will be available in February, and will be presented to the appropriate departments of the United Nations shortly afterwards.
