[02] CYPRIOT DOCTORS - SRI LANKA

President of the Doctors of the World (Cyprus) Elias Papadopoulos has told CNA that so far 45 volunteers of the organisation have visited Sri Lanka and that a Cypriot mission was the first to reach the area that was affected the most by the tsunami.

Papadopoulos explained that these volunteers medically helped thousands of homeless, who were taken to temporary shelters.

He added that the people of Cyprus have contributed generously and so the organisation decided to extend its aid to infrastructure projects, which mainly concern providing potable water to six schools, constructing lavatories in housing settlements, staffing and restoring two hospitals in affected areas and one in another area of the country, and feeding 1,200 children at a school for over a year.
