JDC seeks donations to help traumatized Beslan victims

The American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC) is collecting donations to help victims and families of the terrorist attack on a school in the Russian town of Beslan. JDC is developing a program that will include sending a team of post-trauma experts to Beslan, where at least 335 people were taken hostage last week in a school and then killed by Muslim separatists. The group also will send a team to the 30,000-person city to evaluate what other needs exist beyond trauma relief. Contributions can be made by credit card via JDC's Web site:
www.jdc.org; by phone: 212-687-6200 ext. 889; or by check payable to "JDC-Russia Victims of Terror Assistance", Box 321, 847A Second Avenue, New York, NY 10017, USA.
