China Red Cross Extends Aid to Flood-hit Mozambique
China Red Cross Society made a humanitarian donation of 30,000 U.S. dollars to aid flood-stricken Mozambique, an official from the society announced Tuesday.
The donation was delivered to the Mozambique Red Cross Society via the Chinese Embassy in Mozambique.
Since last December, four prefectures in central Mozambique were pounded by storms that culminated in serious flooding. By February 21, 390,000 people had suffered from the flooding, and as many as 77,000 lost their homes.
