On the morning of August 26 at approximately 10:30 AM, a landslide originating from the Nepalese side struck the Gyirong Port area in Gyirong County, Shigatse City, Tibet, resulting in casualties and missing persons. Upon learning of the disaster, Alibaba immediately activated its emergency response mechanism to ensure the supply of essential rescue materials at the border frontline.
The first batch of urgently assembled supplies, comprising 2,900 boxes of food, drinking water, and other essential living necessities, is scheduled to arrive at the local disaster relief command center tonight. A second batch of 5,000 boxes of instant food will be transported from Shigatse to the affected area tomorrow.
Moving forward, Alibaba's public welfare disaster relief team will continue to closely monitor the disaster dynamics and secondary risks, while standing ready to provide additional material and financial support as conditions evolve. The company remains committed to collaborating with the national emergency response system to support rescue operations and safeguard the well-being of affected communities.
