Israel providing generators to quake-hit Papua New Guinea

Israel has delivered 40 generators to help restore power to areas in Papua New Guinea that were devastated by last week’s 7.5 magnitude earthquake, according to local news reports.

Israel’s foreign aid agency, MASHAV, provided the generators to some of the worst hist areas in the remote Pacific island.

“These generators will provide immediate assistance to communities suffering from damage to critical infrastructure,” Prime Minister Peter O’Neill says according to the website PNG facts.

“Relations between Papua New Guinea and the State of Israel are strong, and our Government and the people of PNG appreciate the support and friendship of Israel during these challenging times,” he says according to the report.
