Dateline ACTSouthern Africa Floods 4/00First of four relief flights to arrive Mozambique tomorrowGeneva,
march 3, 2000 Four ACT co-sponsored relief flights will take much needed relief
goods to Mozambique over the coming weekend. The first plane is expected
to arrive tomorrow with approximately 40 tons of relief goods. The four flights will carry a total cargo of approximately 160 metric
tons including plastic sheeting, emergency food, water purification
tablets, tents, blankets, small motorboats, kitchen sets and medicines
to cover some 20,000 people for three months against a number of common
diseases. Three planes are planned to fly into the capital Maputo
and one into Beira further north on the Mozambican coast. In Mozambique the relief items will be distributed and used by ACT
member Lutheran World Federation (LWF) and the Red Cross Movement.
The flights are sponsored by ACT-Danchurch Aid in co-operation with
the Danish Red Cross and the Danish government. ACT-LWF is carrying out relief work in several parts of Mozambique
including crisis food assistance, temporary shelter, water supply
and re-settlement of families who've lost their homes.
