China's Red Cross donates 100,000 USD for Pakistan's quake victims
China's Red Cross donates 100,000 USD for Pakistan's quake victims - Xinhua | English.news.cn
ISLAMABAD, Sept. 30 (Xinhua) -- The Red Cross Society of China (RCSC) on Monday donated 100,000 U.S. dollars to Pakistan Red Crescent Society (PRCS) for Pakistan's earthquake victims.

Chinese Ambassador to Pakistan Sun Weidong handed over a donation cheque to Chaudhry Muhammad Nawaz Khan, chairman of the PRCS, at the PRCS national headquarters in Islamabad.

Speaking on the occasion, Ambassador Sun said the Chinese government and people felt "grieved as much as the brotherly Pakistani people" for the heavy casualties and property loss caused by the quakes. Chinese president and prime minister sent condolences to their Pakistani counterparts immediately after the earthquake on Sept. 24.

China has offered relief assistance including 1.5 million U.S. dollars and supplies worth 30 million yuan (4.88 million U.S. dollars). All the supplies have already reached Pakistani southern city of Karachi and will be delivered to the victims, the ambassador said.

"I am convinced that under the leadership of the Pakistani government, the Pakistani people can unite to overcome difficulties and rebuild their homes," the ambassador said, adding that China will continue to offer all necessary assistance to Pakistan.

Chairman of the PRCS Nawaz Khan thanked China for its generous support and hoped that the donation would help alleviate the victims' suffering.

"The help reflects that the whole Chinese nation stands with the Pakistani brethren in this critical time and this would help the PRCS to better serve the affectees," he added.

At least 371 people were killed and over 750 others injured in two earthquakes that hit Pakistan's southwest Balochistan province on Sept. 24 and 28.

*9月24日巴基斯坦西南部俾路支省发生里氏7.8级地震以来,已经造成巨大的人员和财产损失。国际社会、其他国家和组织个人纷纷表示愿向巴基斯坦伸出援手。28日晚间,第一批次救灾物资从北京运抵卡拉奇货运机场,中国成为第一个以实际行动援助巴基斯坦的国家。




* * 28日晚7点25分,搭载着第一批中国抗震救灾物资的飞机准时降落在巴基斯坦卡拉奇货运机场。中国驻卡拉奇总领事马亚欧、巴联邦政府代表阿夫塔伯、巴基斯坦军队官员准时守候在机场停机坪旁,迎接救援物资的抵达。据马亚欧总领事介绍,此次中国领导人高度重视巴基斯坦的受灾情况,希望通过实际援助帮助巴基斯坦度过难关。“9月24日,巴基斯坦俾路支省发生了7.8级地震,造成巨大的人员和财产伤亡。9月25日,国家主席习近平和国务院总理李克强即发电巴基斯坦总统和总理,向他们表示慰问。同时中国政府决定向巴基斯坦提供150万美元和3千万人民币物资的紧急救灾援助。”




* * 根据巴基斯坦国家灾害管理局公布的数据显示,此次中国援助物资共包括3350顶帐篷、240台发电机、180台净水装置、2万余条毛毯、200盏应急灯以及大量的药品和医疗急救设备。




* * 而巴政府代表阿夫塔伯则表示,此次巴基斯坦发生的地震,受灾范围广,破坏力巨大。很多地区80%房屋倒塌,灾民无家可归,中国的救援物资将大大缓解灾情。




* * 阿夫塔伯说:“因为绝大多数房屋为土坯房,所以在地震中受灾情况严重。基本上受灾地区有人居住的地区,房屋几乎都垮塌了。同时呢,倒塌的房屋还造成不少人被埋不幸遇难。这(援助物资)是一个非常好的东西,对于那些在地震中受到影响,失去住所、缺少食物或是缺少必要药品,处于困境的人们来说,起到了非常积极的帮助作用。巴基斯坦政府自身也在努力,我们所有的组织部门,比如国家灾害管理局、军队、边防军和一些地方组织等,全都在尽全力救灾,但是中国的救援物资可以说在一定程度上又提供了非常积极的帮助。”




* * 根据巴基斯坦国家灾害管理局官方网站数据,24日发生地震以后,已经造成至少359人死亡,765人受伤,受灾人口数量达到18万5千人。阿夫塔伯表示,面对如此惨重的受灾情况,中国政府第一个伸出援手,将救灾款和物资利用专机送抵巴基斯坦,真实体现了巴中两国兄弟般的关系,巴基斯坦人民十分珍惜这份来之不易的友谊。阿夫塔伯表示:“中国不仅是巴基斯坦的一个邻国那么简单,巴中两国关系历史悠久,保持着兄弟般的关系。而且中国一向都是如此,只要巴基斯坦发生灾害,无论是2010年的洪涝灾害,还是11年的地震,以及在解决一些其他的问题上,中国总是第一个帮助我们的国家。巴基斯坦人们一直十分尊重中国,而且人们都明白,巴基斯坦与中国关系好,历史悠久,为了维护这一良好关系,两方都愿意做出积极的贡献和回应。这次也是,(中国是)第一个为我们提供援助的国家,而且已经运到了。”
