Australian Aid to Vanuatu
01 March 2004
The first of two Royal Australian Air Force
C-130 Hercules aircraft has delivered much needed
emergency stores to cyclone-torn Vanuatu arriving
at 6:40am local time today.
The aircraft from RAAF Base Richmond delivered
a consignment of tarpaulins, water containers
and purification tablets drawn from Emergency
Management Australia's disaster relief stocks.
Australian servicemen posted to the region,
as well as the Hercules aircrew, assisted local
police with hand unloading the supplies.
The Australian High Commissioner to Vanuatu,
Mr Steve Waters, said that Red Cross volunteers
would repackage the supplies and commence delivery
via ship late this afternoon.
