!!!!!!!!URGENT!!!!!!KINDLY FORWARD TO LISTS AND FRIENDS!!!!!!
Dear Friends
THE WORLD IS WATCHING WHILE OVER ONE MILLION AFRICANS DIE
The Medissage BIODIVERSITY EMERGENCY TEAM commonly known in Zaire as
E.U.B (Equipe d'Urgence de la Biodiversite) has been a strong assist in the
provision of services in the area for almost two years.
We can help, but our resources are limited.
We preently have in excess of two hundred staff in the field who have
been working with refugees from Rwanda in Zaire since January 1996.
We have recently had to evacuate stafff from Uvira, to Goma.
Now all hell has broken out in Goma.
We have lost telecoomunications with our people, doctors, nurses,
medical staff in general, environmental support staff, human waste
management staff, administrative staff etc.
To the best of our knowledge most expatriate staff including
United Nations WFP and HCR staff are gone.
Our people remain because they are indigenous Africans most coming from
Zaire.
We have excellent working relationships with the Zairean Military and
local govt. aithorites.
We are willing to help with the controlled management and distribution
of necessary food and supplies.
There is an airport in Goma, and I and my assistant would be willing to
accompany any air shipment of relief supplies to Goma, and take the
necessary risks to get them where they are required.
More information about our work can be seen at
http://www.newciv.org/Medissage/zaire.html
and http://www.visions.net/zaire.html.
These pages have not been updated since January 1996, and since then our
workforce has expanded to cover all refugee camps in the Goma area,
including as well Bukavu
and Uvira.
We have mainly been funded to date by The United Nations High Commission
for Refugees (UNHCR)
We need you support.
Financial support will also help defray the costs of International
Telephone calls and Transportaion costs presently being incurred.
I can be contacted presently in Norway.
