Special thanks to Australia, Singapore, Japan, Uk and US.
LATEST: 1.08pm: Nearly 300 rescue workers from six countries are on their way to Christchurch to help in the search and rescue operation.
Foreign Affairs Minister Murray McCully said the overseas relief effort included:
* A 40-strong urban search and rescue team which arrived at 5:30am this morning and is already working in the city. A second team arrives at 3:00pm.
* A 55-strong disaster relief team from Singapore, due to arrive at 8.30pm tonight. It will join a contingent of Singapore military staff who were already in New Zealand when the earthquake hit. Two Singapore military aircraft are due tomorrow with additional equipment.
* A United States specialist search and rescue team of 75 personnel, which arrives tomorrow morning.
* Sixty search and rescue personnel from Japan, expected to arrive tomorrow.
* A specialised search and rescue team of 63 people from the United Kingdom, which arrives tomorrow night.
* Assistance from Taiwan, which has yet to be finalised.
The teams are in addition to 300 Australian police who were sought by Commissioner Howard Broad after a request from Canterbury district commander Superintendent Dave Cliff.
