Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

On February 25, 2010, the Chinese Government announced that it would provide humanitarian aid to Haiti following the devastating 7.3-magnitude earthquake on January 12, 2010, by donating tents worth RMB 20 million ($2.92 million USD). The Chinese Government planned to deliver the tents to Port-au-Prince in May before the beginning of Haiti's rainy season. On July 6, 2010, the Chinese Government and the Government of Haiti signed a handover certificate for the donation of 11,000 tents, of which 10,000 were donated by the Chinese Government to the Government of Haiti (as captured by this project), while the remaining 1,000 were donated by the Red Cross Society of China to the Haiti Red Cross Society (see linked Record ID#71479).
