Cambodia: German relief aid for victims of Typhoon Ketsana
The German Red Cross Office for Cambodia and Laos - out of its own funds - already on September 30 had sent a truckload of rice to the victims of the tropical storm. The German NGO "Welthungerhilfe" has distributed food, plastic sheetings and water filters in its project areas of Andong Meas and Taveng.
When handing over the donation to the President of Cambodian Red Cross, Lok Chumteav BUN RANY HUN SEN, on Saturday October 3, 2009 the German Ambassador to Cambodia Frank M. Mann said " we all are depending on international solidarity and support in view of natural disasters. Germany and her people are happy to assist the poor people in need of help who have been struck so hard by this devastating storm."
