International: Salvation Army in Korea provides assistance after ferry disaster

30 April 2014

The Salvation Army in Korea is providing assistance to rescuers and families of passengers on a ferry that capsized off the coast of Jindo Island. More than 300 of the 475 passengers were students travelling to Jeju Island on a school trip. At the time of writing, nine people are known to have died, but more than 280 are still missing.

On hearing about the disaster, 14 officers from Chulla Division travelled straight to the scene to offer whatever assistance was needed.
