Australian aid to Papua New Guinea
Recently an Australian Defence Force C-130 left for Papua New Guinea carrying water containers, tarpaulins and water purification tablets to be distributed in the worst areas hit by severe swells.
The plane flew to Kavieng (New Ireland Province) and Lorengau (Manus Province) where the supplies were passed on to PNG officials and Non-Government Organisations for distribution to those in greatest need.
It was recently announced that Australia would provide up to $1 million to assist Papua New Guineans adversely affected by severe sea swells.
