The British Red Cross has launched an emergency appeal to help people in the Caribbean
affected by the devastation of Hurricane Ivan, the category five hurricane that 
is still causing damage in the region.
Two thirds of the island of Grenada’s population
was made homeless last week by the effects of the hurricane, the sixth most powerful
storm to affect the Atlantic basin according to the National Hurricane Center.

The British Red Cross offers four ways of donating to the appeal: online, phone,
cheque, and local Red Cross shop.
