Men from the village of Maleel load bags of wheat onto a local truck during the multinational relief effort OPERATION RESTORE HOPE. The grain, donated by Australia, was flown in by Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 363 (HMH-363) instead of driven by truck convoy because it is suspected that the raods to the village have been mined
