A BOEING-747 jumbo jet carrying 90 tonnes of Chinese government emergency humanitarian relief goods took off from Beijing Capital International Airport to quake-hit Haiti yesterday afternoon.
The 13 million yuan (US$1.9 million) worth of quake-relief, including tents, stretchers, food, medicine, clothing and water purification equipment, is China's first batch of support to the Caribbean country.
The aid is part of a relief package worth 30 million yuan announced by the Chinese government on Friday.
The flight will take 19 hours to arrive in Haiti via the American city of Anchorage, according to the Ministry of Commerce.
Preparation of the quake-relief supplies was completed within 24 hours after China's decision to provide the support to Haiti, the MOC said.
