SINGAPORE : The Singapore Red Cross is sending a five-member relief team to Merapi to assist its counterpart the Indonesian Red Cross and its efforts there.

Also on the way there are five boxes of medical supplies for affected residents and volunteers.

The team is not new to disaster relief. All four nurses and one logistics administrator were involved in post-tsunami relief operations in Meulaboh, and in the aftermath of earthquakes in Nias and Pakistan. "
