Food, purified water, blankets, tents...

Relief goods that's worth 200-thousand U.S. dollars have been donated by the Chinese Embassy and Chinese community in Zimbabwe, to help those badly hit by Cyclone¹ Idai.

Speaking at the handover ceremony of the goods, Chinese ambassador to Zimbabwe Guo Shaochun says China stands ready to support Zimbabwe to go through the difficult times.

Guo suggests, besides the emergency aid to help relieve the disaster triggered by cyclone Idai, more assistance is coming from China to help with Zimbabwe's development.

"In the next few days, the Chinese government will provide more assistance through official channels. We will donate funds and 10,165 tons of rice to the Zimbabwean people and drill 500 boreholes for Zimbabwe this year. We hope all these support will help Zimbabwean people to gain strength and confidence to overcome the difficulty."

Local groups such as the Chamber² of Chinese Enterprises in Zimbabwe, the Chinese Federation³ of Zimbabwe and the Zimbabwe-China Business Association have contributed to the donations.

The SinoZim Wildlife Foundation, an organization dedicated⁴ to protecting wild animals in Zimbabwe, has also dispatched three inflatable rescue boats to the affected⁵ areas to help those who are still trapped.

Zimbabwe-China Business Association Vice⁶ President Li Manjuan says the Chinese community in Zimbabwe is eager to make their own contributions to the disaster relief efforts in spite of the economic hardship.

She says more relief goods are pouring in and will be delivered to the disaster-stricken areas in the coming days.

"The Chinese community, be it enterprises or individuals, is undergoing a hard time as the local economy is still sluggish⁷. Yet they are actively⁸ making donations. We've collected several truckloads of goods in four days' time. And more donations are coming."

An official with Ministry⁹ of Defence and War Veterans Affairs has expressed his gratitude¹⁰ for the help from China.

Permanent secretary Martin Rushwaya says the donations are due to relieve the sufferings of the victims.

"These donation of various assortments¹¹ of food items and blankets by the Chinese embassy in conjunction with the Chinese business community will go a long way in alleviating¹² the plight¹³ of the victims of the cyclone. As the saying goes: a friend in need is a friend indeed."

The first batch¹⁴ of relief goods has been delivered to the cyclone-affected areas.

Cyclone Idai has killed at least 98 people in Zimbabwe. Hundreds are still missing.

Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa is visiting the worst-hit areas, leading the rescue operations.

中国驻津巴布韦大使馆当地华人社区捐赠了价值20万美元的救援物资，帮助因气旋“伊代”而受灾的津巴布韦民众。

中国驻津巴布韦大使郭少春在物品捐赠仪式上表示，中方愿意支持津巴布韦度过难关。

郭少春表示，除了向津巴布韦提供紧急援助，帮助缓解气旋“伊代”造成的影响之外，中国还将提供更多援助，帮助津巴布韦发展。

“几天后，中国政府也会通过官方渠道向津巴布韦提供帮助并捐助资金。今年，中方还将向津巴布韦人民提供10165吨大米，并为津方建设500孔水井。中方希望这些帮助能够给予津巴布韦人民力量和信心，克服当前的困难。”

此次捐助物资由津巴布韦中资企业商会、津巴布韦华商联合会，津巴布韦华人华侨联合总会等当地组织联合筹集。

中津野生动植物保护基金会致力于保护津巴布韦野生动物，该组织也向灾区派出了三艘充气式救生艇，救助受困民众。

津巴布韦华商会常务副会长李曼娟表示，尽管许多在津华商企业经营状况并不理想，但面对灾情仍然全力相助。

她表示，一些救援物资已经运到，更多救援物资在未来几天就会到达灾区。

“目前津巴布韦经济处于低谷，华人社区无论商户还是个人，都在经历一段艰难时期。但是，他们仍然积极捐赠物资。我们在短短四天的时间里就收到了好几卡车的物资。更多的物资也将陆续到来。”

津巴布韦国防和退伍军人事务部的一位官员对中国的帮助表示感谢。

常务秘书马丁·鲁什瓦亚表示，这些捐助物资将减轻灾民们的痛苦。

“中国使馆和在津华商社区捐赠的食品及毯子等物资，将大大缓解灾民们的困境。俗话说，患难见真情。”

第一批救援物资已经运往津巴布韦受灾区。

气旋“伊代”目前已造成津巴布韦98人死亡，数百人失踪。
