While the Civil Defence Commission (CDC) yesterday received roughly $7 million in relief supplies from the private sector to assist those countries affected by the passage of the recent hurricanes, getting them to those in need has become a problem, CDC Director Colonel Chabilall Ramsarup said yesterday.
Ramsarup, during a press briefing where a donation was made by the Private Sector Commission (PSC), related that the two aircrafts that were thought to be available to aid the delivery will no longer be able to facilitate the movement of the cargo.
Minister of State Joseph Harmon had told reporters on Thursday, during a post-Cabinet press briefing, that the British High Commission was collaborating with the government to make a C-130 aircraft available to move the supplies, and even provide a second aircraft if necessary.
