". – ECHO mounted the first operations in the Moluccas in March 1999 when an aid package of EUR 1 million made it possible to set up medical health and food distribution programmes for displaced people from the Ambon and Kai islands. The financial decision for Indonesia was signed in December 1999 and EUR 900 000 were used for the continuation of these two programmes. Two further emergency operations with a budget of EUR 1.5 million began in March 2000 because the number of displaced persons continued to rise. These operations covered the distributions of foodstuffs and first aid and the operations also ensured medical aid and a supply of drinking water to the displaced persons from the archipelago. As the conflict has reached the north of the Molucca islands and particularly the island of Halmahera the two NGOs financed by ECHO in Ambon, Medecins sans frontières, Belgium, and Action contre la faim, France, have extended their action to include displaced persons from this island. The resumption of violence in May and June last year provoked new displacements all over the archipelago. Therefore an emergency aid decision for Indonesia was signed in August 2000 for EUR 2 million. It is funding a new programme of assistance for displaced persons with a budget of EUR 600 000 which involves distribution of food and first aid. World Mission Germany is carrying out this programme.
Considering that the situation in the Moluccas remains a cause for humanitarian concern, a new humanitarian aid decision of 2 m was signed on 5 December 2000. The decision includes a project for the improvement of the victims' nutritional and health conditions which will be implemented by Action contre la faim, France. It also includes a project aiming at ensuring the transport of drinking water which will be carried out by the international committee of the Red Cross.
So, we are giving high priority to assisting the people who are the victims of this very unfortunate conflict."@en1
