Ase Lund our security expert leaves Stockholm on Saturday night for Port au Prince with a Swedish team who will set up a base-camp for UN personnel. About 20 Swedes, including electricians and sanitation specialists, will be deployed for this task.
The Swedish team is self-sufficient so as not to burden Haiti further. Transportation is a cooperative effort between the Nordic countries. Norway, Denmark, and Finland are also contributing to the base-camp with materiel, as is Estonia.
I wish her and all the team a safe and successful mission.
