Federal-Way-based World Vision, which has its storage facilities in Kent, is mobilizing relief supplies and psychological assistance to assist the earthquake- and tsunami-ravaged cities of Japan.

In addition to providing basic life necessities, World Vision’s relief will include child-friendly play spaces for youngsters, to “address child survivors’ need for structure,” the non-profit charity’s Web site stated.

More than 10,000 people are feared dead and approximately 200,000 people have been displaced, following the the 8.9-magnitude earthquake that struck offshore of Japan’s Honshu Island, and a huge tsunami that came afterward.
