Appeals raise €130,000 in three days for Beslan siege victims
To Russia with Love, a charity with huge experience working with orphans in the west of the country, has raised nearly €80,000 and UNICEF Ireland has raised almost 50,000 since they both launched their appeals on Monday.
In addition, UNICEF Ireland has pledged another €100,000 from its normal budget to help the victims of the school massacre that left 330 people dead, half of them children. More than 700 people were injured and 116 remain unidentified.
