Yesterday I flew up to Aweil in the north west of the country, with a stop in Rumbek on the way out for fuel. I carried 2 passengers and nearly 800kg of freight.
The flight was booked by Medair and was in response to an urgent need for Plumpy Sup in their child nutrition programmes. While we were on the ground in Aweil we also heard that Medair is responding to an outbreak of Measles in that area and are in the middle of a campaign which aims to vaccinate 45,000 children! MAF also played a part in that response when we flew an aircraft load of measles vaccines up to Aweil last week.
