Transparent relief supply pledged

The government will help overseas and domestic donors track their donations and know how they are being used to help the quake victims, a senior official said yesterday.

"We'll cooperate with donors (countries, organizations and individuals) who want to keep a close eye on how their donations are being distributed," Wang Zhenyao, director of the Civil Affairs Ministry's disaster relief division, told a press briefing, organized by the State Council Information Office.

"We promise transparency in the use of every donation (that's why) we have made it mandatory to keep records at every step of the distribution chain."
