Receiving the relief supplies, Aryal expressed gratitude to the project team and called for continued support for long-term rehabilitation and recovery.
“Hundreds of families have been displaced. We need to rebuild, and for that, Chinese support is very important,” he said.
In response, the Chinese team expressed its commitment to supporting the long-term recovery process.
“We drove for 15 hours from Kathmandu via an extremely difficult route to reach this site so that we could contribute to the relief efforts in a direct and meaningful way. We are together with the Nepali people in this tragedy,” Wu said.
Travel writer Yee Liang, who has been visiting Nepal for the past 13 years, said, “We did not bring any banners, slogans or logos with us. Most of us have lived here for many years. Nepal is not simply a place where we work; it is a home we share. For us, this is help between family members. We are simply doing for our Nepali friends what Nepali people have done for us countless times over the years.”
The team also brought doctors along with the relief supplies to assess the actual needs of displaced families and help determine the requirements for the next relief team.
According to team members, they were the first Chinese civilian relief team to reach the area. They prepared and delivered supplies worth Rs 2 million based on a detailed assessment of local needs.
