The Singapore Government will be providing further humanitarian relief to Indonesia in the aftermath of the earthquake in Central Java on 27 May 2006, in the form of an additional 8-member Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) Medical Team, an 11-member Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) Medical Team, as well as a further US$200,000 worth of emergency supplies including medical supplies, blankets and tents. The Government will also be contributing US$50,000 to the Singapore Red Cross Indonesia Disaster Relief Fund.

Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong has conveyed the details of the enhanced relief package in a letter to President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono earlier today.

The additional assistance follows the assessment of the SAF Medical Team and SCDF Disaster Assistance and Rescue Team (DART) currently operating in the affected areas. The emergency supplies also correspond to the aid requested by the Indonesian Department of Foreign Affairs.

Singapore had earlier provided assistance in the form of a 43-member SCDF DART, a 35-member SAF Medical Team, and US$50,000 worth of emergency supplies.
