On 29 December 2004, a severe earthquake near the Indonesian island of Sumatra triggered an enormous tsunami in the Indian Ocean that hit many countries, including Sri Lanka. In response, the Chinese government sent three aid packages for tsunami relief to Sri Lanka. This project captures the second batch worth 15 million RMB consisting of blankets, tents, bed sheets, medicines, mosquito nets, generators, and food which all arrived in Sri Lanka on 4 January 2005. The other two aid packages are captured in Record ID#33234 and #33240
