A chartered aircraft carrying a Chinese medical team and aid material arrived at Port-au-Prince,?the?Haitian capital,?to continue helping with the ongoing quake relief efforts there.
On board are a 40-member medical and epidemic-control team and 20 tons of food and medical supplies, the Ministry of Commerce (MOC) said.
It is the second Chinese medical team to help quake victims. The?first one, a 50-member China International Search and Rescue (CISAR) team, was among the first to arrive in Port-au-Prince after the earthquake and set up a medical center within days of the quake.
The CISAR team will leave Haiti for China today in the chartered flight.
About?50 Chinese who have been in Haiti?during the devastating earthquake will also?head for China?in the same flight.
