| Background: | In September 2018, Indonesia suffered a deadly Tsunami that caused thousands of victims to flee their homes after the disaster. Following this incident, PICA planned to deport the Palestinian Rapid Response and Rescue Team (PRRRT) to the affected islands to provide medical support. Later on, the Indonesian Government declared the affected islands a military closed zone due to the dangerous impact the tsunami has caused including the spread of diseases. Following this declaration, PICA decided to deport a relief mission to contribute in providing basic emergency needs to help the Indonesian people after the area was officially closed. | |

| Activities: | PICA took immediate action after the tsunami occurred by consulting with different suppliers to purchase the highest quality equipment.
