China will provide an additional 100 million yuan in emergency humanitarian assistance to Venezuela for earthquake relief. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun made the announcement on Monday.
The aid builds on cash assistance already provided and includes emergency relief supplies to be transported as soon as possible. China has also supplied satellite imagery of the earthquake-hit areas to support relief efforts.
Chinese companies operating in Venezuela and local Chinese community organizations have donated construction equipment and medical supplies. They have organized rescue teams to assist with search and rescue operations.
Guo Jiakun said China stands ready to continue providing further assistance based on the evolving needs of the disaster response. The cash aid was announced by the China International Development Cooperation Agency on Friday.
