Similar Rotary boxes being unloaded at Leuser National Park after the 2002 flash flood
A lot of aid supplies have been tied up in customs or delayed by shipping bottlenecks but Rotary UK have managed to get a large consignment of family packs on the ground in Medan and ready to send to needy areas. Aceh veteran Marion van der Reijden has been based in Meulaboh since January and she is determined to see these supplies reach remote areas. Trucking is being arranged and our ELM team is on standby to meet the convoy and distribute to Gomo and Mazino areas in SE Nias next week. The consignment consists of 44 tons of large sturdy plastic boxes containing clothes, kitchen items, tools, torch, bucket, hygiene supplies and water purification tablets.
