The Red Cross Society of China has dispatched humanitarian aid to help 10,000 displaced families in the Kachin state in northern Myanmar.

The shipment of aid, including rice, cooking oil, salt and quilts, left Kunming, capital of southwest China's Yunnan province that borders Myanmar on Wednesday afternoon, said Sun Shuopeng, an official of the Red Cross Society of China in charge of the aid project, on Thursday.

The aid, which China offers in response to the request made by the Myanmar Red Cross Society, is expected to reach the Kachin state over the weekend.
