The Health Ministry was represented at the ceremony by Angolan health deputy minister, Alberto Masseca, while the WHO’s acting representative to Angola, Abou Gaye, did for the world organisation.
On the occasion, Abou Gaye said the offer represents a gesture of solidarity from the WHO director general and its regional director for Africa towards the victims of the recent floods.
He also reaffirmed the readiness of this organisation to support the efforts of the Angolan government to ensure the provision of basic health care to the  floods victims.
In his turn, the deputy Health minister thanked the WHO move by emphasising that the goods donated will be sent to Cunene province as soon as possible. “This in addition to the efforts the Angolan government is making, through the civil protection, to lessen the effect of the floods on people,” he said.
The floods in southern Cunene province have left 22.000 people homeless and cut off circulation in the section of Hevale / Nehone, Oihole and Chiede and the roads of Calonge, Chamutete, Kanganda due to the high level of the waters in the Cuvelai river. Source: ANGOP 03/09/09
