JAKARTA: A rescue team of 29 Indonesians have arrived in
Pakistan to provide assistance for victims of a devastating
earthquake in Muzaffarabad, an Indonesian diplomat said on
Wednesday.

This is the second Indonesian team to travel to Pakistan after
a humanitarian team was sent to help victims of the Oct. 13
quake, in which thousands of people were killed.

Nico Adam, a spokesman for the Indonesian Embassy in
Islamabad, said the arriving rescue team included four doctors
from Mer-C, and four others from the Justice Post of Concerned
People (PKPU), as well as 13 Indonesian students from the
International Islamic University in Islamabad.

"Another group of medical workers and volunteers will follow
to help their Muslim brothers in Pakistan," said Suryama M.
Sastra who led the team. --Antara
