Hurricane Katrina > International aid response
offered to send medical and technical aid, and has been on standby since September 2 to send a Hercules cargo jet filled with three complete GSM systems, first aid kits, blankets, Ready-to-eat meals, generators, 2 heavy water purification plants, as well as water sanitation experts. On September 4 the U.S. State Department declined the aid, saying it was currently unable to accept foreign aid packages. The Swedish Rescue Services Agency has stated that they have the aircraft ready for immediate deployment upon receiving a green light from the Bush Administration. On September 12 the Hercules plane left the Gothenburg-Landvetter Airport, carrying a cargo of three Ericsson GSM network systems. A team of technical consultants to help with the aid package was also provided. |
