Sending a helping hand 🤝🇨🇳🇻🇺
The Red Cross Society of China just stepped up big time, donating $100,000 💰 in emergency humanitarian aid to Vanuatu after a massive earthquake shook the Pacific island nation earlier this week.
On Tuesday, a powerful 7.3 magnitude quake rocked Vanuatu's main island, toppling buildings in the capital Port Vila and causing landslides. Locals described it as a \"violent, high-frequency vertical shake.\" 😱 The disaster has left at least 14 people dead and over 200 injured so far.
Chinese Ambassador to Vanuatu, Li Minggang, shared the news of the donation: \"Today we have received $100,000 of emergency humanitarian cash assistance from the Red Cross Society of China, which will be handed over to Vanuatu on Saturday.\" He added that China will continue to offer support based on Vanuatu's needs.
The Chinese embassy is keeping close contact with Vanuatu's government to understand their rescue and relief requirements. \"We're here to provide timely support,\" Li emphasized.
In times like these, it's heartwarming to see nations unite to help those in need. 💙 Let's hope for a swift recovery for the people of Vanuatu.
