Description

In late July 2010, Pakistan experienced the worst floods in 80 years due to heavy monsoon rains and strong winds. On 20 September 2010, a 68-member medical rescue team from the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) carrying 80 tons of medicine and other relief goods reached Pakistan. The value of this project is unknown and the length of their mission is unknown. The 68-member team was in the Sehwan area of Sindh Province providing medical treatment to the flood-stricken people there. This is one of four teams sent by the Chinese government to help with flood relief efforts in Pakistan in 2010. The other three are captured in project #73898, #36859 and #36861.
