World aid flies in for Java quake survivors
 Medical teams from around the world began flying into Java on Monday following the reopening of Yogyakarta's damaged airport, as the death toll from Saturday's quake passed 5,100. Australia and Japan also sent large cash donations in addition to medical teams, following the reopening of Yogyakarta's damaged airport. Paris-based charity Medecins Sans Frontiers (MSF) deployed a surgical team to the quake zone, while the Indonesia coordinator for international humanitarian aid organisation Medecins du Monde said that the immediate priority was to get medical teams to "the outlying areas" where the injured had little or no access to healthcare facilities.Posted by: Fred 2006-05-30 |
