Description

On 26 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 first batch worth 50 million RMB consisting of blankets, tents, bedding, food, and medical equipment which all arrived in Sri Lanka on 28 December 2004. The other two aid packages are captured in project #33240 and #33226. The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) Financial Tracking Service captures this first batch in flow ID #24789.
