Burnt down Basque radio station Gure Irratia asks for help

The staff of the radio station that broadcasts in Basque for the Basque provinces within France want to be back on air as soon as possible.

They have been provided with temporary accommodation by the Uztaritze Town Council, but they need as much help as possible, and have launched a fund to pay for for tables, chairs and essential equipment.

A fire devastated the premises of Gure Irratia on Tuesday night in Uztaritze (Ustaritz), destroying the headquarters, as well as material and work gathered in more than 25 years.

Computers, telephones, books, and much more was burnt down, and the high temperatures have severely damaged electronic equipment.

Details of how to help can be found on this page and photos of the damage can be seen here.
