According to Tzu Chi, the supplies were scheduled to be delivered to Yatsushiro City on Monday, with members of the foundation's Japan branch overseeing local logistics.
The partition tents were created after Taiwan's 2018 Hualien earthquake, when Tzu Chi volunteers witnessed survivors and emergency responders staying in temporary shelters without privacy, the foundation said.
