Aid worker interview from Indonesia earthquake zone

Dan Sanger must be just about the only person working hard to make himself redundant.

Two days ago, Dan arrived in Indonesia to take over from the first team of emergency logistics experts the British Red Cross sent to the earthquake zone. Dan’s leading a team making sure relief supplies get to the area, and he’s also handing over the operation to the Indonesia Red Cross.

My colleague Mark South just talked to him to find out how it’s going. Have a listen and find out more about our Asia Pacific Disasters Appeal.
