billion.
The shipment, provided free of charge by Dragonair, comprised 116 cartons of new clothes and 240 blankets and was delivered to Kunming on Sunday.
“We hope our efforts for the Hong Kong Red Cross will help relieve some of the suffering of those affected,” said Dragonair CEO Stanley
Hui.
According to the Hong Kong Red Cross the worse-hit provinces are Hunan, Guangxi, Guizhou, Xinjiang, Sichuan, Chongqing and Inner Mongolia.
