Humanitarian Aid for Iraqi Refugees Ready for Shipping: Chinese Official
The first cargo of humanitarian aid from the Chinese government destined for Iraqi refugees in Jordan is ready for shipping and is expected to arrive in the Jordanian capital Amman on April 2, an official with China's Ministry of Commerce said Saturday.

The first batch of 100 of a total of 500 tents, will be flown to Jordan on Sunday from Urumqi, the capital of northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, according to commercial ministryofficial Xia Yungui.

China, one of the first nations to provide humanitarian aid following the start of the war in Iraq, has made great efforts to provide assistance quickly, Xia said.

The Chinese government pledged to provide humanitarian aid to the Iraqi refugees on Mar. 22, two days after the start of the war.

The remaining 400 tents will be sent in batches to Jordan in early April, Xia said.
