Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

In 2006, the Chinese Government donated humanitarian relief to Lebanon in the midst of a conflict with Israel. The aid package was worth RMB 20 million ($2.5 million) and it consisted of 150 tents, electricity generators, medical equipment, and bedding. The equipment arrived in Beirut on August 11, 2006. Then, on September 18, 2006, Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao announced that his government would provide an additional RMB 20 million of material assistance to Lebanon. However, it is unclear whether or when this pledged donation was fulfilled.
