Grant Description
On 31 March, 2017, a handover ceremony of China's disaster relief and materials assistance to Zimbabwe was held in Harare.
Organizations including the China Red Cross Society and the Embassy of the People's Republic of China in the Republic of Zimbabwe pledged to provide emergency response supplies to donate food, drinking water, and blankets worth a total of $60,000 USD. On April 20, the Chinese Embassy in Zimbabwe handed over the donation of food in Harare.
This project is completed.
Additionally, the Chinese Government provided $1 million USD cash to Zimbabwe for flood emergency response (captured in linked Record ID#63308). Affected by hurricanes and heavy rains, Zimbabwe has continued to suffer from floods since December 2016.
In early March 2017, President Mugabe declared that the flooded area had entered a "catastrophic state", and Vice President Mupoko called on the international community to lend a helping hand to assist in disaster relief, leading to these donations.
