Hollywood action hero Jackie Chan today distributed relief materials to earthquake victims in Nepal.
The Hollywood star visited Lalitpur district near Kathmandu where he distributed relief materials to earthquake victims who were physically-disabled at a programme organised by Nepal Red Cross Society.
China's ambassador to Nepal Wu Chuntai was also present on the occasion.
The action hero, who is also the founder of Jackie Chan Charitable Foundation in Beijing, arrived in Kathmandu today along with the representatives from Red Cross Society of China.
The relief materials include 5,000 sets of non-food kits.
