The Norwegian Refugee Council has taken on the job of rebuilding all the 200 schools in Sri Lanka that were destroyed by the tidal wave on December 26th, Norwegian Broadcasting (NRK) reported on Thursday.
Both the Sri Lankan authorities and the Tamil guerillas which control the northern part of the country have accepted the offer from the Norwegian Refugee Council.
Meanwhile, a freight aircraft left Airport Trondheim of Norway on Thursday, loaded with 20 cross-country trucks which will be used to transport emergency supplies in Indonesia.
Another 40 former military trucks will be sent by ship.
Major parts of the road network in Indonesia were destroyed by the tidal wave, making it almost impossible to distribute relief supplies to the victims of the floodwaters.
