Two planes loaded with hundreds of tents left for China Wednesday.

Pakistan has arranged 10,000 tents for the earthquake victims in China.

Federal Minister for Food, Agriculture and Livestock (Minfal) Nazar Muhammad Gondal, Chairman of National Disaster Management Authority Farooq Ahmad and Ambassador of China Luo Zhaohui were present at the Chaklala Air Base in Islamabad when the planes tookoff.

The tents were sent under the directives of the Prime Minister Syed Yousaf Raza Gilani soon after his return from Egypt.

Nazar Muhammad said China had generously provided relief goods besides financial assistance for the people of the Pakistan when it was rocked by an earthquake in October 2005. It is the time to stand with China in this time of ordeal, he said.

Farooq said the government was extending relief goods to China and sending a medical team of 20 doctors and paramedics as part ofsuch efforts.

Luo thanked the Pakistani government and people for their moral and financial support for China in this hour of trial.

The first batch of relief goods donated by Pakistani government include tents, blankets, plastic mats, medicines and mineral water were sent to China last Friday.
