AUSAID supplies loaded into a C-17 bound for Operation Pakistan Assist II

Fourteen pallets of AusAID supplies for the people of flood-ravaged Pakistan were loaded onto a Royal Australian Air Force C-17 Globemaster at Amberley this afternoon.

The delivery is one of two that is being sent to the disaster-stricken country where it's estimated that 1500 people have perished and 12 million people affected by the worst flood in the nation's history.

A total of $1million of AusAID relief stores which include tents, tarpaulins and plastic sheeting, and water purification equipment to help more than 10,000 families is now bound for Islamabad. They will also carry generators, birthing kits and water containers.
