On the 15th, the Chinese government delivered humanitarian supplies for the Syrian earthquake relief to Damascus, the capital of Syria. Shi Hongwei, Chinese Ambassador to Syria, and Muataz, Deputy Minister of Local Management and Environment of Syria, met at the airport and attended the handover ceremony. Shi Hongwei said that although China and Syria are thousands of miles apart, they are always good friends and true friends who work together and watch each other. In addition to emergency rescue materials such as first-aid kits, cotton-padded clothes, tents, blankets, the Chinese government aid materials delivered this time also include medical equipment urgently needed for post-disaster reconstruction, such as ventilators, anesthesia machines, oxygen generators, etc. It is hoped that these materials and equipment can help Syria overcome the impact of the disaster and restore normal order in the disaster area as soon as possible. Muataz said that with the support of China and other friendly countries, Syria is confident to overcome the disaster at an early date and rebuild a beautiful homeland. After a strong earthquake hit the southern part of Türkiye near the Syrian border on the 6th, the Chinese people from all walks of life actively carried out assistance to Syria. The Red Cross Society of China acted quickly and announced the provision of emergency humanitarian cash assistance to the Red Crescent Societies of Turkey and Syria. The two batches of humanitarian materials that the Red Cross Society of China assisted Syria arrived in Damascus on the 9th and 13th respectively, and the handover ceremony of materials donated by overseas Chinese in Syria to the earthquake disaster areas in Syria was held in Damascus on the 12th.
