A Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF) C-130J Hercules will deliver aid supplies to Papua New Guinea following the recent cyclone, while another New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF) contingent has arrived in Port Moresby to carry out a range of activities with the country’s military and other agencies.
The C-130J left RNZAF Base Auckland this morning with humanitarian supplies provided by New Zealand’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade to support Papua New Guinea’s response to Tropical Cyclone Maila.
