China will provide emergency humanitarian assistance, including food and medicine, to Sri Lanka, which is undergoing a severe economic crisis, the China International Development Cooperation Agency said on Thursday. 

The first batch of aid will be shipped from Shanghai on Friday.

Sri Lankans have been enduring shortages of necessities for months because of the country's lack of foreign currency to pay for imports.
