Australian Defence Force supplies purified water in Banda Aceh
Australian Defence Force (ADF) personnel are assisting Indonesian Government
authorities as part of the Australian Government programme of humanitarian
relief following the Boxing Day tsunami.
The ADF has been working in support of tsunami disaster relief in Indonesia's
North Sumatra and Aceh Provinces since 28 December 2004. Relief assistance
provided by Australia is part of a co-operative effort involving the
ADF, DFAT (AusAID), and Emergency Management Australia.
Water, tentage, medical supplies, blankets and other emergency provisions,
and logistical support have been provided. In the tsunami-devastated
provincial capital of Banda Aceh, the ADF have set up a water purification
plant and have established the Anzac Hospital, a field hospital operated
jointly by medical personnel of the ADF and the New Zealand Defence
Force.
