Description
On February 8, 2010, the Chinese Government sent 25 tons of medical supplies worth 5 million RMB to Haiti in response to the massive earthquake that destroyed much of Haiti's infrastructure. The batch included medicine needed to fight infectious diseases, as well tablets, rehydration liquids, gauze, and medical alcohol. The shipment consisted of 1,790 boxes with a total volume of some 120 cubic meters. This is the third batch of a 30 million RMB project, which was announced on January 15, 2010. The first batch is captured in #40190 and the second in #40209.
Additional details
There are conflicting reports on the estimated monetary value of Beijing's in-kind donations to Haiti, though based on amounts in #40190 and #40209, 5 million RMB appears to be the correct amount.
