Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

On 24 September 2013, a 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck Pakistan, particularly around Baluchistan province. On 25 September 2013, the Chinese government committed to donating 1.5 million USD in cash for earthquake relief efforts in Pakistan. The handover certificate was issued on 29 November 2013 and the funds were transferred to a State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) account. The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) Financial Tracking Service captures this donation in flow ID #108986. How exactly this money was spent is unknown. The Chinese government also donated supplies worth 30 million RMB to Pakistan for this earthquake (Record ID#54186).
