Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

On March 28, 2011, the Chinese Government delivered 60,000 bottles of mineral water and 3,250,000 pairs of disposable rubber gloves to Japan as earthquake relief, which would each be sent to Ibaraki Prefecture and the Japanese Red Cross Society after arriving to Japan. This was the second round of aid under a RMB 30 million grant. The first round of aid is captured by Record ID#49994. The Tōhoku earthquake took place on March 11, 2011 about 72 km (45 mi) east of the Oshika Peninsula of the Tōhoku region in Japan. It lasted approximately six minutes, causing a tsunami. It was the most powerful earthquake ever recorded in Japan, and the fourth most powerful earthquake recorded in the world since modern seismography began in 1900. This earthquake prompted assistance from various countries, including China. This donation is one of several from China to Japan following the Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami.
