-- A Jordanian plane with tons of relief supplies left for Indonesia
on Saturday to help survivors of the devastating earthquake that hit central
Indonesia last Saturday.
The C130 plane, operated by the Jordanian
Hashemite Charity Organization (JHCO), carried 12 tons of blankets and
tents.
Secretary General of JHCO al-Abbadi said the organization has received donations of medical supplies from the Jordanian Health Ministry and Dar AL Hekmeh and Dar Al Dawa'a pharmaceutical companies. The donations will be airlifted to Indonesia by JHCO as soon as possible, he said.
Indonesia was hit by a powerful earthquake measuring 5.9 on the Richter scale last Saturday, leaving over 6,200 people dead and more than 46,000 injured.
