The US government Friday donated US$100,000 to the
blizzard-hit areas in north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous
Region.
US ambassador to China Joseph Prueher presented a cheque
of US$100,000 to a representative of the Red Cross Society of
China.
The donation was "a symbol of goodwill" of the
United States to the snow-stricken victims and the Chinese people,
Prueher said at a disaster relief contribution ceremony held at
the embassy.
Earlier, the American Red Cross Society had donated
US$50,000 for the disaster relief.
Blizzards, which hit Inner Mongolia in late December,
have affected 1.6 million people and killed more than 220,000 head
of livestock.
