DILI, Apr.19 -- On April 17, four mobile field containerized kitchen systems provided by China successfully completed the emergency relief mission in East Timor in response to the flood disaster therein, and withdrew from Lagoa village amid the warm farewell of local victims.
东帝汶帝力4月19日电 4月17日，4辆中国援助东帝汶的野战炊事车圆满完成东帝汶洪灾紧急救助任务，在当地灾民的热情欢送中撤离拉戈阿村。
A few days ago, affected by tropical cyclone Seroja in Savu Sea, East Timor was hit by a catastrophic flood that has not been seen for many years. Plenty of roads, bridges, and residential houses in Dili, capital of East Timor, were shattered, leaving the whole city severely affected and the residents stranded in floods, on the verge of life and death.
日前，受苏威海热带气旋影响，东帝汶发生多年未见的特大洪灾，首都帝力多处道路和桥梁被冲断、民房被冲垮，全城受灾严重。帝力拉戈阿村及附近居民被洪水围困，情况十分危急。
On April 10, the East Timor Defense Forces (ETDF) dispatched four China-assisted mobile field containerized kitchens to the disaster area to supply food for the local victims. After wading through the damaged sections of roads and arriving at the village of Lagoa, the mobile field containerized kitchens were immediately put into operation to provide food for the starving victims.
4月10日，东帝汶国防军紧急出动，派出4辆中国援助的野战炊事车到灾区，为灾民提供伙食保障。这些车辆涉水通过损毁路段，到达拉戈阿村后迅速展开作业，解决了灾民的燃眉之急。
After several days of intense work, the emergency rescue mission came to the end as of April 16. In addition to the mobile field containerized kitchens, the China-assisted squad tents, field boots and rain-proof uniforms also played an important role in the relief and rescue mission.
经过几天的紧张作业，至16日，本次紧急救助任务方才告一段落。在这次抗灾救援中，除了野战炊事车，中国援助的班用帐篷、野战靴、防雨制服等也都发挥了重要作用。
According to Senior Colonel Liu Miao, Chinese Defense Attache to East Timor, the Chinese Ministry of National Defense assisted the East Timor Ministry of National Defense and its National Defense Forces in 2019 with a batch of logistic equipment, including seven mobile field containerized kitchen systems. The systems can not only provide food supplies for the troops, but also be used for disaster and humanitarian rescue missions.
据中国驻东帝汶国防武官刘淼介绍，中国国防部于2019年向东帝汶国防部和国防军援助了一批后勤装备，包括7辆野战炊事车。这种车辆拥有现代化野战炊事能力，不仅可以为军队提供机动伙食供应，还可以用于灾害救助和人道主义救援。
