Solidarity with Asia: SUEZ actions
Situation on February 10, 2005 SUEZ Environnement / Aquassistance
Our intervention within the context of the emergency humanitarian action undertaken in order to supply drinking water to the victims of the tidal wave on the Island of Sumatra in Indonesia is progressively moving towards a reorganisation phase which will be followed by a long period of reconstruction.
During the past 4 weeks spent on the island, the teams from Aquassistance and Palyja have set up 6 mobile water purification units in Banda Aceh and Meulaboh. These facilities are working correctly and are now directly managed by their users – humanitarian associations, hospitals, etc. – who are extremely satisfied with their performances.
The entire Aquassistance team has now returned to France, having learnt a good deal from this experience, and the association is continuing to pay careful attention to future assistance requirements which may take the form of renovation works within the usual context of its missions.
To ensure that our intervention continues in Sumatra, and in agreement with the Indonesian Ministry for Public Works, Palyja is going to maintain a 10-men team in Banda Aceh for a further three months :
. 4 persons will be responsible for continuing to supply water with the help of the two water supply vehicles belonging to Palyja, each of a 5 000 litre capacity. These vehicles carry out five or six delivery runs per day and supply water to approximately 10 000 persons.
Palyja, which was also responsible for co-ordinating the logistics of the 18 water supply vehicles in Banda Aceh, is to progressively transfer this responsibility to an NGO.
. 2 persons will continue to intervene on the drinking water supply line in order to detect and repair leaks and consequently allow connections to be re-established.
. 3 persons will train the local team which the PDAM, Banda Aceh’s municipal water company, will be appointing to operate the Lambaro drinking water plant. This plant is currently running at 60% of its capacity.
. 1 coordinator will oversee the entire team.
For a one month period, Palyja will also provide the chemical products necessary to permit all of the drinking water production facilities to function correctly.
The eleven person team from Budapest Water Works who intervened in Sri Lanka also came back after two weeks on site.

Situation on January 27, 2005
SUEZ Environnement / Aquassistance
The operations to provide drinking water to disaster victims in Banda Aceh and Meulaboh are continuing and the first Palyja teams to arrive have now been relayed by fresh volunteers. The Aquassistance volunteers have almost completed their reconnaissance mission for allocation of resources sent out. At the moment, they are identifying the partners who will be best able to operate equipment once they have left.
In Banda Aceh
The study for a full return to service of the Lambaro plant is under way, while work on the distribution network and supply from tankers continues thanks to the efforts of the Palyja and Degrémont teams.
The mobile units despatched by Aquassistance are now installed and remaining volunteers are preparing for handover of the equipment after their departure:
. The two sand filter mini-plants of a capacity of 5 m3/hour installed at Sigli, (1 hour 30 minutes to the south of Banda Aceh) to supply the refugee population in the area will be operated by Médecins Sans Frontières in future.
. Operation of the Aquachoc unit, installed in the military hospital at Kesdam, will be taken over by the hospital staff.
. The mini-plant set up in the Mata le treatment plant is, for the moment, still being operated by Palyja staff members.
In Meulaboh
After exploring the area to identify needs, sand filter mini-plant of a capacity of 5m3 was installed on 23 January at Cot Mee, a camp for displaced people set up to receive around 500 people and close to a village with around 1000 inhabitants.
In parallel, the Palyja and Aquassistance teams participated in cleaning of wells in the Meulaboh region.
Aquassistance volunteers come home
The chief of the Aquassistance mission returned home last Sunday after spending two weeks in the field. He was replaced on Friday 21 January by an other person who will remain based at Meulaboh.
An other volunteer came home on 26 January. Other staff members will come back between 28 January and 1 February.
Palyja receives thanks for its actions in Banda Aceh
Palyja's management has received thanks from Indonesia's Ministry of the Economy and Foreign Affairs for its contribution to supplying drinking water to victims in Banda Aceh.
The Budapest Water Works mission in Sri Lanka
On 7 January, Budapest Water Works, SUEZ ENVIRONNEMENT's subsidiary in Hungary, sent out a mobile water purification unit accompanied by a team of 11 people, as part of an operation coordinated by the Hungarian government.
Arriving on 8 January and then directed by the United Nations in the province of Galle, to the south of Colombo, the team helped to provide drinking water to the town of Kanaga, to four small nearby villages and to a Pakistani military hospital, from a mobile treatment plant with an hourly capacity of 5 m3.
Working alongside an association of Hungarian water management professionals, the team also contributed to repair of Kanaga's water treatment plant, to the implementation of procedures for disinfection and to rehabilitation efforts. Two more people from Budapest Water Works have joined the team, to carry out a diagnosis of the distribution network and make analyses.
Those who have spent two weeks in the field have just been replaced by new volunteers whose return is scheduled for 5 February.
Situation on January 18, 2005
SUEZ Environnement / Aquassistance
The human means and equipment deployed by Aquassistance and SUEZ ENVIRONNEMENT in order to provide drinking water to the disaster victims in the zones of Banda Aceh and Meulaboh currently amounts to 27 volunteers from Palyja, Degrémont and Aquassistance, 9 mobile water purification units and 2 water supply vehicles. Our actions are continuing as follows :
In Banda Aceh
2 technicians from Degrémont will be going to Banda Aceh this week in order to assess the works necessary in order to get the Lambaro drinking water plant back in good working order. For the time being, emergency repairs have succeeded in increasing the facility’s capacity.
Works are continuing on the supply system, namely to absorb leaks and isolate badly damaged sections, with the help of a local earthworks company. One of the numerous refugee camps set up by the authorities, the TVRI Camp, has been reconnected to the supply system, providing water to almost 3000 refugees and to the on-site emergency medical centre.
Drinking water supply vehicles are continuing with their mission thanks to an 18-strong vehicle fleet coordinated by our teams present in the region, but the task is difficult given the state of infrastructures and poor weather conditions. In total, the vehicles are supplying water to almost 15 000 persons in this zone.
The last of the three mini stations sent out by Aquassistance (of a capacity of 5m3/hour) which was awaiting allocation, is now present and up-and-running on the Sidle site, located 1 ½ hours south of Banda Aceh, in order to provide water to the sector’s refugee populations.
In Meulaboh
Two persons from Aquassistance and Palyja arrived in Meulaboh on January 14 where, alongside the humanitarian organisation SOLIDARITES*, they explored the sector in order to decide where the treatment equipment, sent out from Medan over the weekend, would be best put to use. They have already identified a site -Pulau Ie- on the outskirts of Meulaboh – regrouping almost one thousand persons, in order to install the equipment. Other sites, slightly further away, will be visited during the next few days.
*SOLIDARITES i s a humanitarian association which mainly intervenes among the victims of war and armed-conflicts. Specialised in covering vital needs for over 20 years now, the association oversees emergency and reconstruction programmes. www.solidarites.org.
Situation on January 13, 2005
SUEZ Environnement / Aquassistance
Despite the bad weather which render the working conditions difficult, our teams are contributing efficiently to supply drinking water to the disaster victims in Banda Aceh and two persons are due to go to Meulaboh as from tomorrow.
In Banda Aceh
The City’s water company has given technicians from Palyja the task of operating the Lambaro drinking water plant, where emergency repairs have now been completed. The plant is now running to approximately 50% of its capacity. A technician from Degrémont will be visiting the plant next week in order to determine the works necessary to bring the facility back to its full capacity.
Meanwhile, the team of technicians from Palyja is continuing to repair the City’s water supply system. It has already reconnected the municipal hospital (the Zainoel Abidin Hospital), and will soon be able to connect a refugee camp, home to some 3000 refugees and the site of an emergency medical centre.
In parallel, our 2 water supply vehicles are providing drinking water to between 4 and 6 000 persons per day in 5 refugee camps. In total, around one hundred refugee camps have sprung up around Banda Aceh. Our teams have also been chosen to coordinate water supply by the 16 other water supply vehicles present in the City.
Lastly, two out of the three mini stations sent by Aquassistance have been allocated in Banda Aceh: one of them, a sand filter of a production capacity of 5000 l/hour, has been put in place in order to increase the production capacity of a water treatment plant (Mataie), the other one, an Aquachoc, is currently being set up at the City’s military hospital (Kesdam) in order to supply it with drinking water. It should be up-and-running by Friday, January 14. The third one is also due to be set up on the City’s outskirts within a few days.
In Meulaboh
The 6 mini-stations stored in Medan will be put to use in Meulaboh within a few days, as soon as their means of transportation have been defined.
In the meantime, two persons from Aquassistance and from Palyja will go to Meulaboh to determine, along with the NGO, the best use of our materials.
Electrabel / Energy Assistance
In the Energy business, the ‘Energy Assistance’ association is coordinating the actual aid operations. Energy Assistance has set up a task force to identify potential needs and areas of intervention, prepare the necessary equipment and organise missions in cooperation with governmental organisations and NGOs already active in Asia.
Over 30 Electrabel employees have already volunteered to participate in these missions. Members of Energy Assistance have also established contacts with managers of Electrabel's various entities, mainly at Networks units, in order to obtain certain materials and equipment that will be useful for their missions. The Vilvoorde power station near Brussels has offered the use of one of its stores for this equipment. Given the current state of affairs, Energy Assistance anticipates organising the missions in the coming weeks and months, mainly to help restore electricity distribution systems in the countries affected.
In the first few days following the disaster, many colleagues wanted to show solidarity and take action. Tomorrow, 14 January 2005, Electrabel will take part in 'Solidarity Asia', a special broadcast organised jointly by Belgium's leading public and private television networks.
Situation on January 11, 2005
SUEZ Environnement / Aquassistance
All of the emergency equipment made available by Aquassistance and SUEZ ENVIRONNEMENT has arrived on the Island of Sumatra. Around thirty people from SUEZ ENVIRONNEMENT have rallied to offer assistance to Indonesia and Sri Lanka.
The coordination of humanitarian efforts and the allocation of equipment are still being organised in this region which has been severely hit by the catastrophe, although the first results are beginning to appear in Banda Aceh, where the majority of our teams are located. Interventions in the City of Meulaboh are also planned as soon as transportation means are defined.
Teams and equipment are currently allocated as follows :
In Indonesia
In Banda Aceh, where 80% of the population has deserted the City, we can already see the first results :
. 3 technicians from Palyja are working on the supply system
On Monday, January 10, the team reconnected the Zainoel Abidin Hospital to the supply system. They are continuing to carry out other repairs and are planning to try to supply a refugee camp which has been set up on the City’s outskirts.
. 5 technicians from Palyja and Degrémont Medan, 2 trucks containing reagents and equipment as well as 3 drivers have been allocated to the drinking water plant
This team has assessed the Lambaro plant -it is working to 30% of its capacity- and is focusing on the most urgent repairs in order to increase the plant’s flow rate.
An Aquachoc is also to be set up at another of Banda Aceh’s hospitals in order to supply it with drinking water.
. 2 water supply vehicles and 4 drivers are distributing drinking water
The vehicles arrived on Sunday evening. They began to supply water to dispersed populations on Monday, January 10. In addition to isolated actions, Palyja has also been nominated by the NGO Coordination Committee to organise the supply of water by all the water supply vehicles present in Banda Aceh.
. 2 mini-stations are currently in the process of being allocated
They are managed by one person from Aquassistance and by 2 persons from Palyja.
In Meulaboh : 1 Aquachoc and one person from Aquassistance
The Aquachoc will be transported as soon as possible by helicopter to Meulaboh where it will be allocated to the Civil Defence rural hospital.
In Medan : 6 mini-stations, including 2 Aquachocs, are in the process of being allocated
2 persons from Aquassistance and Lyonnaise des eaux France, along with 4 technicians from Palyja, have been called on to assist. They will also provide assistance in the City of Meulaboh.
In addition, one person from Aquassistance and a Palyja employee are participating in meetings for the coordination of actions in Banda Aceh, placed under the responsibility of the UNICEF for water and sanitation issues and in conjunction with NGOs.
In Sri Lanka
In parallel, actions are being carried out by SUEZ ENVIRONNEMENT subsidiaries all over the World. For example, on Friday, January 7, Budapest Water Works sent a mobile water purification unit - of a capacity of 5m3/h - along with 5 members of personnel to Sri Lanka, within the context of an operation coordinated by the Hungarian Government. This unit will supply drinking water to the City of Galle, located to the south of Colombo.
SINO-FRENCH WATER
Sino-French Water personnel took part in a major operation in Macao to send food (water, biscuits, baby-food) to the people of Banda Aceh.
Several Chinese subsidiaries also took part in aid contributions locally.
SUEZ Foundation
Following the Foundation meeting of January 10, the members decided to await the conclusions of all the associations onsite who are carrying out exploratory missions.
Current needs concern mainly long-term actions (construction of schools, clinics, infrastructure) and require coordination.
The Committee will meet again at the end of January to choose the projects that we will support on the long term – once the evaluation phase is completed.
Situation on January 10, 2005
The Group's solidarity and support efforts continue to aid the devastated peoples of the Southeast Asian countries where SUEZ is present.
The latest news as of January 10 is provided below:
. Through a Task Force specially created with Aquassistance, the Group is mobilizing in Environment to come to the aid of disaster victims in the province of Aceh (Island of Sumatra, Indonesia).
. An Energy Assistance Task Force is organized to mobilize Energy volunteers to identify areas of intervention and to prepare the necessary resources.
. Numerous initiatives are taking shape within Group companies: some examples follow.
SUEZ Environnement / Aquassistance
This Task Force is coordinated from Djakarta by a local Palyja manager. Palyja is the SUEZ Environnement subsidiary in charge of water distribution in the west of the Indonesian capital of Djakarta (Island of Java).
The Task Force is working locally on the Island of Sumatra in the cities of Medan and Banda Aceh. It is made up of Palyja and Degrémont employees and experts from Aquassistance, the Group's humanitarian organization active in the fields of water and environment.
MOBILIZATION IN INDONESIA.
The Task Force has already agreed to the request of the Indonesian Public Works Ministry to help restore water facilities in the Banda Aceh province. Meanwhile, it will be distributing drinking water using water tank trucks in areas no longer being served.
Concurrent with this Indonesian government request, Aquassistance, working with the French government, has already sent the same province 3 tons of emergency water treatment equipment made up of three mobile water production units to be assigned to locally-identified priorities.
Given the magnitude of the catastrophe, SUEZ chartered a plane to transport 9 tons of additional equipment, mainly mobile water treatment units, pumps and miscellaneous equipment. This aircraft arrived at Medan on January 9 and its cargo was received by the Task Force and will be dispatched to Banda Aceh.
Thanks to Aquassistance's compact, easily transportable equipment, such as its autonomous Aquachoc units, this volunteer association is able to supply drinking water to isolated populations, field hospitals, and refugee camps.
Aquachoc is a pump system that sucks water through a filtration membrane purging it of bacteria and balancing mineral salts. Next, the water is chlorinated. Depending upon conditions and the unit involved, one Aquachoc unit can produce from 1 to 5 cubic meters of drinking water per hour, enough to supply from 2,000 to 20,000 persons under emergency conditions.
... AND FIRST FIELD DEPLOYMENT
On January 9, all of the Aquassistance and SUEZ Environnement material arrived on the island of Sumatra where it was sent to Medan and Banda Aceh. Teams and equipment are now positioned as follows:
Meulaboh : 1 Aquachoc unit and 1 person from Aquassistance. The Aquachoc unit will be routed to Meulaboh by helicopter as soon as possible where it will be put in service at the Public Security field hospital.
Banda Aceh , where 80% of the population has left the city, the first results are:
- 3 Palyja technicians are at work on the water system.
The team has reconnected the Zainoel Abidin Hospital to the main, is working on other repairs and today will try to supply a refugee camp set up outside of town.
- 3 Palyja and Degrémont Medan technicians, two truckloads of chemical reagents and materials, along with three drivers have been assigned to the drinking water plant.
This team has diagnosed the Lambaro plant – which is operating at 30% of capacity – and is concentrating on the most urgent repairs to increase the flow. The site is currently occupied by an Indonesian Army where a brigade set up its command post.
- 2 tank trucks and four drivers are distributing water.
The trucks arrived Sunday evening and today water distribution began to the refugee camps.
- 2 mini-stations are awaiting assignment.
They are being administered by one Aquassistance volunteer and two Palyja employees.
Medan : 6 mini-stations, two of which are Aquachoc units, await assignment: 2 Aquassistance and Lyonnaise des eaux France volunteers and 4 Palyja technicians have been mobilized.
In addition, at Banda Aceh, Aquassistance and Palyja are participating in UNICEF-sponsored coordination meetings dealing with water and sanitation issues; these meetings are also being coordinated with the NGOs.
SUEZ Environnement has also dispatched a security coordinator on the spot to assist our personnel.
At the same time, initiatives are being taken by SUEZ Environnement subsidiaries. For example, on January 7, in conjunction with an operation coordinated by the Hungarian government, Budapest Water Works sent a mobile water purification unit to Sri Lanka. The unit is manned by 5 persons and has a capacity of 5 cubic meters/hour. This unit will furnish drinking water to the city of Galle, located south of Colombo.
Energy Assistance
An Energy Assistance task force was set up to identify possible areas of operation and to prepare the necessary resources.
Electrabel
Numerous Electrabel employees have demonstrated their support and have volunteered through Energy Assistance. From the very first week, certain units, particularly in the Netherlands, sent donations to the special accounts opened in favor of the disaster victims. In Belgium, a television program, "Asia Solidarity," sponsored by the public and private television stations, will show on January 14. Employee associations have decided to make a contribution to this initiative from their association reserves. Electrabel and its entities will also participate in this initiative through matching grants.
Tractebel Asie/Moyen-Orient
The management of Tractebel Asia/Middle East has offered three paid vacation days to its Bangkok headquarters employees so that those who wish may take part in solidarity initiatives to help disaster victims
SUEZ FOUNDATION
An extraordinary meeting of the Executive Committee of the SUEZ Foundation will be held Tuesday, January 11, to consider where to allocate the special donations being made to the Foundation.
The SUEZ Foundation is not set up to operate in an emergency mode. It will support associations located in the disaster regions which have established programs to assume full responsibility for children severely impacted by the tsunami. It will also support restoration programs for damaged local infrastructure and reconstruction of medical, educational, and social institutions.
SUEZ Foundation initiatives will be spread out over several months. Employees will be kept informed on progress of programs for the selected institutions.
Situation on January 7, 2005
SUEZ set up a task force to help the disaster victims in the Aceh province (island of Sumatra, Indonesia)
After the tsunami of 26 December 2004, the SUEZ Group is taking action via a Task Force created specially to come to the aid of the disaster victims in the Aceh province (island of Sumatra, Indonesia).
The Task Force is coordinated from Jakarta by a local manager from Palyja, SUEZ ENVIRONNEMENT's subsidiary that distributes water to the western part of Jakarta, Indonesia's capital (island of Java).
The Task Force is working locally on the island of Sumatra in the towns of Medan and Banda Aceh. It is made up of colleagues from Palyja and Degrémont and of experts from Aquassistance(1), the Group's humanitarian aid organisation in the areas of water and environment.
Mobilisation in Indonesia
The Task Force has already responded to the request from the Indonesian Ministry of Public Works to contribute to the repair of Banda Aceh's water installations. In the meantime, it will distribute drinking water from tanker trucks in the areas that are deprived of this service.
At present, the only drinking water works in Banda Aceh is operating at 25 per cent capacity due to lack of staff and resources. Initial information on the state of the distribution system indicates that it is damaged to around 40 per cent.
Eleven colleagues have been mobilised so far to contribute to repair of the plant and system and they have already been joined by a colleague from Aquassistance. Together, they will assess the technical and humanitarian needs.
In parallel with the Indonesian government's request, Aquassistance, working with the French government, has so far sent three tonnes of equipment for emergency water treatment to the same province. There are three mobile water production units which will be allocated in accordance with priorities decided in situ. On Sunday 9 January, two Aquassistance volunteers will join the equipment and be at the disposition of French and Indonesian authorities and charitable organisations.
Given the scale of the catastrophe, SUEZ Group has chartered an airplane to transport nine tonnes of additional equipment, mainly mobile water treatment units, pumps and other equipment. The plane will leave for Medan in the evening of 7 January and will be received by the Task Force before being routed to Banda Aceh.
Thanks to compact equipment such as the Aquachoc units, which operate independently and are easily transportable, Aquassistance is able to provide drinking water to isolated populations, field hospitals or refugee camps.
Aquachoc is a pumping system that sucks in water, then passes it through a filtering membrane to provide water that is bacteriologically pure and balanced in mineral salts, before being chlorinated. Depending on the units used and on conditions, an Aquachoc can produce between 1 and 5 m3 of water per hour, sufficient to supply between 2 000 and 20 000 people in an urgent humanitarian situation.
(1) Aquassistance is the Group's humanitarian association of volunteers who bring their water and environment skills to populations in difficulty.
Situation: January 5, 2005
Support and solidarity operations have been launched by the Group to help the affected populations in those countries of southwest Asia where SUEZ is present in the field.
SUEZ ENVIRONNEMENT: mobilization on the ground in Indonesia
Via its local teams based in Jakarta (Palyja) and Medan (Degrémont), SUEZ ENVIRONNEMENT has responded favourably to the request by the Indonesian Ministry of Public Works to repair existing water facilities and to supply drinking water to the populations isolated in the northern part of the Island of Sumatra, one of the worst hit regions. At this moment in time, the region's only drinking water production facility, which is located in Banda Aceh, is working at 25% of its full capacity, owing to a lack of personnel and resources. As for the supply system, almost 40% of it has been damaged. In total, 11 employees from these subsidiaries are joining forces to help repair equipment and supply systems. In the meantime, water service vehicles will supply drinking water to the devastated zones. SUEZ ENVIRONNEMENT is also drawing support from an employee from Aquassistance who is already in the region in order to evaluate needs and back up the coordination of the means made available to local populations; he will be working in conjunction with local teams.
AN AQUASSISTANCE MISSION
In addition, Aquassistance is awaiting the go-ahead from the French Ministry for Health to send out technicians and compact water treatment equipment. The allocation of missions is currently being finalised by the public authorities. France's actions will principally concern water supply, namely in Indonesia and Sri Lanka. Thanks to compact equipment, which is autonomous and easy to transport, Aquassistance is able to supply drinking water to isolated populations, rural hospitals and refugee camps. The equipment waiting to be sent includes: an Aquachoc*, two mini emergency water stations, power pumps, supply ducts and collapsible tanks. Additional equipment is also being prepared to be sent in conjunction with the CIRSEE and could be collected by SUEZ ENVIRONNEMENT employees based in Medan. Since the beginning of the crisis, volunteers have been helping to prepare equipment at Aquassistance's depot in Mont Valérien, assisted by Eau et Force which has also made available vehicles for its transportation.
The Aquassistance team sent out to the zones hit will have the task of identifying the availability and quality of water resources, assembling emergency equipment and finding the partners who will then be capable of making equipment work after their departure. They will be in contact with the Group teams present in the field and will also constitute the interface with NGOs, local authorities and the United Nations coordination structures in order to work as efficiently as possible. Aquassistance and the local SUEZ ENVIRONNEMENT teams will be confronted with complex situations in order to supply water to sometimes displaced populations, distanced from existing infrastructures, or in certain cases, completely isolated. Certain water production or supply infrastructures may have been destroyed or the water resources contaminated. You will be kept informed of SUEZ ENVIRONNEMENT's actions in this zone as the situation develops and means are deployed.
* Aquachoc is a pumping system which draws up water and passes it through a filtration membrane. Following filtration, this water will be bacteriologically pure and balanced in mineral salts. It is then chlorinated. A standard Aquachoc produces between 1 and 5 m³ per hour and, according to the units and conditions, permits water to be supplied to between 2000 and 20 000 disaster victims.
TRACTEBEL ASIA / GLOW in Thailand
Several personal initiatives have been made in Bangkok by employees of Tractebel Asia and its subsidiary Glow to provide logistic support to the international humanitarian aid effort. Glow has taken the decision to donate approximately 3 million Bath (75,000 USD) to an authorized humanitarian organization. EGI personnel wishing to do volunteer work and contribute their technical expertise have been invited to contact Energy Assistance, which is coordinating assistance to be provided to the disaster areas, particularly in the energy field. Furthermore, Tractebel EGI has provided information to its personnel worldwide for giving donations to the Fondation SUEZ if they so desire, bearing in mind that SUEZ will match tha t amount in a further contribution to the Fondation SUEZ.
ELYO
To support concrete actions led by numerous employees of the Group, Elyo will make a donation of €100,000 to Fondation SUEZ. SUEZ has decided to make a further contribution of an amount egal to the Elyo donation.
Other operations have been launched by Elyo's subsidiaries: SMEG (Electricity and Gaz of Monaco) will double its annual donation to Croix Rouge in Monaco ; employees of EDT (Electricity of French Polynesia) and EEC (Electricity of New-Caledonia) and Lydec (Water, Sanitation and Electricity of Casablanca) will join actions led by Energy Assistance ; furthermore, several actions to collect money and material are organised through the regional entities and the European Network.
