During the Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami relief operation at the end of 2004, the Chinese International Rescue Team dispatched 70 people to Indonesia in two batches, especially the severely affected Banda Aceh to carry out international humanitarian relief. It lasted nearly 30 days and treated more than 10,000 wounded. It has become an important local rescue force and has been widely praised by local victims.
