UNICEF wishes to correct a factual error in an article in The
Jakarta Post dated April 14, concerning imported vehicles
currently at the Belawan Port in Medan.

UNICEF agreed to purchase the vehicles, 14 Toyota Hiace
ambulances, two Toyota Hilux pickups and one Toyota Hiace
minibus, at the request of the Department of Health in Banda Aceh
to be used for relief activities following the Dec. 26 tsunami.

These vehicles arrived in Belawan port in February and March.
The necessary documents for clearing the vehicles from Belawan
port and delivering to the Department of Health in Banda Aceh are
with the relevant government authorities in accordance with the
law and UNICEF's Cooperation Agreement with the government of
Indonesia.
