Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

On March 22, 2003, the Chinese government decided to provide the Jordanian government with emergency aid materials for humanitarian purpose, according to sources with the Chinese Foreign Ministry. On March 30, 2003, the first batch of humanitarian aid from the Chinese government for Iraqi refugees was shipped to Jordan, according to China's Ministry of Commerce. The aid includes 500 tents, each four meters long, three meters wide and 2.5 meters high. The first batch of 100 tents were transported by air to Jordan from Urumqi, capital of northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. The remaining 400 tents were sent to Jordan in batches in early April. The Chinese Government handed over the 500 tents to the Jordan Hashemite Charity Organization on April 2, 2003 for distribution.
