Chapman Freeborn Provides Airlift for USAID Operations in Chad
20th April 2007
On April 18, a USAID/OFDA airlift containing emergency relief supplies, including plastic sheeting, water containers, and hygiene kits, arrived in Abeche, eastern Chad.
Consigned to the Office of the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), these relief commodities will assist 9,000 newly displaced Chadians and meet ongoing needs. U.S. Ambassador Marc M. Wall and a USAID representative traveled to Abeche to oversee the arrival of the commodities.
The Ilyushin IL-76 freighter which took the supplies from Sharjah was chartered by co-operation between three different Chapman Freeborn offices, namely the UAE, USA and UK!
