BEIJING - China's Red Cross Society decided Tuesday to donate another 5 million yuan (around US$ 757,600) in emergency aid to its Japanese counterpart after a devastating 9.0-magnitude earthquake jolted the country's eastern coast.

The society donated 1 million yuan to Japan on March 12, one day after the massive quake jolted the east coast of Japan's main Honshu Island, causing more than 2,000 deaths and catastrophic damage.

A statement of the society said it had kept close contact with its Japanese counterpart and paid great attention to the disasters caused by the massive quake.
