Paris, 24th March 2003 - In view
of the dramatic situation facing the Iraqi population due to the war and
the interruption of monthly distributions of "food baskets" to
16 million people as well as essential drugs, the humanitarian organisation
SOLIDARITES has decided, in partnership with the M 6 group, to send a sizeable
convoy of emergency humanitarian aid to assist the Iraqi population.
SOLIDARITES, which has provided "hand
to hand" humanitarian aid for over 20 years, is launching this convoy
in partnership and with the exceptional support of the whole M 6 Group
with Téva, Fun TV, Club Téléachat. The channel's presenters have decided
to lend their support by recording a message appealing for donations to
assist the Iraqi population.
We wish to provide assistance to the Iraqi populations in difficulty very quickly. Objective: to send a convoy to Iraq in the next few days, a convoy of 6 lorries loaded with essential provisions, in particular high-protein biscuits, powdered milk, tents, plastic sheeting, blankets, water filters, jerry cans, kitchen utensils, etc...
We must act now to help the Iraqi population in their hardship.
Please send your donations by cheque to : SOLIDARITES - BP 100 - 75020 Paris.
Thank you for your generosity.
