Catholic Relief Services
Description edit
June 6, 2006, Dili, East Timor - The U. S. government turned over to Catholic Relief Services today, more than ten tons of supplies desperately needed by the tens of thousands of East Timorese who have fled their homes in the last two months of violence and political upheaval here.
The supplies, including plastic sheeting for temporary shelters, 6,000 gallons of water, more than 1,000 hygiene kits and 1,000 blankets arrived at about 2:45 PM today [1:45 AM (EDT)], aboard a Moldovan-registered Antonov 12 chartered from Dubai by USAID.
“There are some countries that do not identify with the United States, but East Timor is not one of them,” said Joseph Grover Rees, the U. S. ambassador to East Timor who joined CRS officials at the airport to take the delivery.
