Pacific Nations Form New Response Group
New Zealand has delivered a $3 million support package to the Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea. The funding aims to address urgent humanitarian needs following Cyclone Maela, which caused widespread damage in both countries earlier this month. The assistance follows formal requests from both nations to aid affected communities. Both New Zealand and partner countries are working to address the humanitarian requirements in the affected areas. The New Zealand Defence Force has delivered shelter, hygiene, and kitchen kits to the Solomon Islands. Material including agriculture tool kits, generators, and water containers has also been delivered to Papua New Guinea. New Zealand police in Bougainville have assisted in moving injured individuals from landslides. The Pacific Response Group has been established as a new military mechanism for the Pacific region.
