Description

A 60-member rescue team and three sniffer dogs, sent by the Chinese government to Haiti to assist in disaster relief efforts, arrived in Haiti on January 13, 2010. The team carried out effective search and rescue operations at the headquarters of MINUSTAH (the UN Stabilization Mission in Haiti), the prime minister's palace, and other places. The team also brought food and equipment for donation, and included several medical professionals. This project stands as a part of a greater relief effort undertaken by China to provide relief aid to Haiti. This team was replaced with another team of 43 people on January 25, 2010 (Project ID#40186).
