Other assistance
In addition to assistance given in Finland, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Indonesia, 400 000 euros have been spent on a health and disaster relief programme in the tsunami-affected areas in Eastern Africa.
The funds were used on training rescue groups and on transporting and storing supplies. Bednets protecting from malaria, clean water and latrines have also been delivered to the area.
Furthermore, the Finnish Red Cross has assisted India, the Maldives, Bangladesh and Myanmar with a total of one million euros.
