In addition, she also has provided 50 tons of rice, medicines, dates, and instant noodle to adult refugees, spokesman for the North Maluku province`s social affairs bureau M Said said on Sunday. Megawati symbolically handed over the aid to North Maluku Governor Muhyi Effendi in the course of her visit to the riot- torn province some time ago, he added. The aid was the second after earlier the vice president presented assistance in Ternate, capital of North Maluku province, in January 2000, he said. The first aid had been distributed to refugees camped in North Maluku district, Ternate municipality and central Halmahera district, he said. Megawati was quoted as saying the powdered milk was aimed at improving the nutrition and health of thousands of babies and children under five years old sheltered at the numerous refugee camps. He said the health condition of nearly 5,500 babies and children under five years old in North Maluku had become cause for major concern, and some of them had been suffering from various diseases.
