The China (Guangxi) Medical Expert Team for Aiding Pakistan in Flood Relief returned after more than two weeks of work in Pakistan.

Pakistan has suffered from devastating floods since June, causing heavy casualties and property losses. The Chinese government assigned Guangxi to immediately dispatch a medical team to Pakistan at the request of the Pakistani government, with the team leaving for Pakistan on Oct 28.
