Typhoon Haiyan: China sends relief team to Philippines

เขียนโดย fahummeenudmin
China is sending an emergency medical team and a disaster relief team to the typhoon-hit Philippines, following criticism of its initial response. Chinese Red Cross workers, a medical team and a large hospital ship will be sent to assist the Philippines, China's Foreign Ministry said. Typhoon Haiyan killed more than 4,000 people when it tore into the Philippines on 8 November. The UN estimates around 11 million people have been affected by the storm. China initially offered $100,000 (£60,000) in aid, a fraction of that committed by other major nations. The Chinese Red Cross pledged another $100,000. The amount was criticised by western media and analysts, although some Chinese microblog users objected to China sending any aid at all. China and the Philippines are currently embroiled in a territorial dispute - seen by many as the reason for Beijing offering so little assistance, says the BBC's China correspondent Martin Patience.
