Japan will send more relief supplies to China's quake-hit southwest areas, Chief Cabinet Secretary Nobutaka Machimura said on Tuesday.

The planned additional relief assistance, including 556 tents, six water purifiers, 80 water-related equipment items and more than 1,1000 bottles of drinking waters, will be delivered to Chengdu, capital of China's quake-hit Sichuan Province, Machimura told a press conference.
