China Red Cross sends supervision team to Hubei

The Red Cross Society of China on Saturday dispatched a team to central China's Wuhan, central China's Hubei Province, the epicenter of the novel coronavirus outbreak, to direct and supervise the relief work of the charity organizations across the province.

The organization is under scrutiny after it emerged that medical workers dealing with the outbreak in Wuhan and elsewhere in the province are still facing a shortage of protective equipment despite an influx of donations. It has raised concerns over how donations are being distributed and used.
