Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

According to the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, on Feb 17, 2018, the Chinese Embassy in Tonga called on and organized Chinese water manufacturers to donate 500 boxes of drinking water to Tongan National Emergency Management Office (NEMO), to ensure the water supply for the Tongan victims of the Tropical Cyclone Gita. Three Chinese drinking water manufacturers in Tonga, Ofa-ki, Zenith and Omni, responded rapidly by sending their vehicles and Chinese workers to deliver all their inventories to the designated warehouse of NEMO, while their own factories were yet to be fixed and put into operation again.
