Full Description

Project narrative

In late February 2020, Shanghai donated 100,000 medical masks and 400,000 disposable masks to the city of Daegu, North Gyeongsang Province (Gyeongbuk), the city of Busan, and Jeonbuk State (North Jeolla Province) in South Korea. The masks arrived in South Korea by March 4, 2020, and were distributed to the various recipients by the Korean Red Cross. The estimated value of the donation is USD 350000. The distribution of the masks among the recipients is unknown.

Staff comments

1. This donation appears to be separate from the the 70,000 masks Shanghai donated to Busan on March 4, 2020 (captured in Record ID#101251). 2. AidData has estimated the transaction amount for this donation based on price catalogues from the World Health Organization (WHO). Please see the TUFF Methodology for additional details.
