Russia's Air Force planes will carry out 12 flights to deliver more humanitarian aid cargoes to China, where a devastating earthquake has claimed more than 60,000 lives, local media reported on Saturday.

Those transport planes will send mobile kitchens, tents, blankets, food and medicine to southwestern China's Sichuan Province that was jolted by the 8.0-magnitude earthquake on May 12, Itar-Tass cited Russian Air Force commander's aide Alexander Drobyshevsky as saying.

Russia has delivered more than 120 tons of emergency aid, a rescue team and a mobile hospital with staff to Sichuan.

Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, who ordered to increase aid to China, is in Beijing for his first foreign visit out of the post-Soviet countries since he took office on May 7.
