Pangdam XVII/Cenderawasih Major General Izak Pangemanan said the request for medicine from Philip Mark Mehrtens, the pilot Susi Air who was held hostage by the Papuan KKB led by Egianus Kogoya had been fulfilled.
The drugs have been delivered by residents who have become representatives of the Nduga Regent.
"In addition to medicines, books were also brought," said Izak when contacted in Jayapura, Papua, Friday, February 16, which was confiscated by Antara.
Based on his report, Philip received packages of drugs and books that had been delivered last week.
The package was delivered by helicopter which landed in Yuguru, Nduga Regency.
"The drugs brought as requested because the New Zealand hostage were affected by asthma," said Izak.

When asked about the condition of the hostages, Izak admitted that from the reports received, his condition was relatively fine.
"From the reports received, Phillip's condition is fine and hopes to stay healthy," he said.
Admittedly, the rescue of hostages is still being carried out by prioritizing negotiations in which the Nduga Regional Government is put forward.
"Hopefully, by continuing to carry out negotiations, it is hoped that the KKB will release the hostages safely," he said.
Philip Mark Mehrtens, who works as a pilot for Susi Air, was taken hostage by the KKB led by Egianus Kogoya shortly after arriving at Paro airport since February 7, 2023.
