THE international community started to send disaster relief teams yesterday to help Japan after it suffered a massive earthquake and tsunami, with the United Nations sending a group to help coordinate work.
The UN said on Friday that four foreign search and rescue teams (Australia, New Zealand, South Korea and the United States) were on their way after Japan requested help. Singapore is also deploying an urban search and rescue team in Japan while Switzerland announced it was sending a team of some 25 rescue and medical experts accompanied by nine sniffer dogs. Britain said it would fly out 63 search and rescue personnel and two dogs.
