China sends the first batch of humanitarian aid to Caracas on board a chartered flight, July 5, 2026. /CGTN

China sent the first batch of humanitarian aid to Caracas on Sunday on board a chartered flight. The shipment includes 20 generators, eight water purification units, 200 disinfection machines, 200 sets of solar-powered lighting equipment, more than 1,700 tents and over 6,700 blankets. This is in addition to the immediate cash assistance provided by Beijing to Venezuela. The aid shipment is expected to arrive in Caracas on Monday morning.

In a post on social media, Venezuela's acting President Delcy Rodriguez said she sincerely thanks President Xi Jinping for the humanitarian gesture. She also expressed gratitude to the Chinese government for its solidarity with, and support for, the Venezuelan people in the aftermath of the earthquake, and for standing with Venezuela during this difficult time. Additional humanitarian relief supplies will be dispatched from Beijing in the coming days.
