Hey everyone! 😊 Have you heard about what’s happening in Myanmar? There was a really big earthquake recently, and it’s been really tough for the people there. But guess what? The Red Cross Society of China is helping out in a big way!
On Wednesday, the first batch of aid supplies from China’s Red Cross arrived in Mandalay, Myanmar. Mandalay is the place that was hit hardest by the earthquake, which was a huge magnitude-7.9! That’s a really big earthquake. 😮
The Chinese Red Cross sent over 4,900 items to help the people there. These include tents to sleep in, blankets to keep warm, folding beds, and family kits. These things will really help the families who lost their homes.
The Myanmar Red Cross is working with the Chinese rescuers to give out these supplies. They are also helping to set up shelters so that people have a safe place to stay.
Just after the earthquake happened on March 28, the Red Cross Society of China donated 1.5 million yuan (which is about $208,900) to help out quickly. They also sent a rescue team to Mandalay to help people in need.
Right now, there are 15 rescuers from China’s Red Cross in Mandalay. They are helping to find people who might be trapped, giving medical help to those who are hurt, and offering support to people who are feeling scared or sad because of the disaster.
It’s really great to see people from different countries helping each other in times of need! 🌏❤️ Let’s hope that the people of Myanmar can recover soon, and that they know they are not alone.
If you want to help or learn more about what’s happening, you can look up ways to support through reliable organizations. Every little bit can make a big difference! 😊
