When the ground shook in Xizang, it was more than just buildings that were tested—it was the spirit of the people. 💞
On a chilly Tuesday morning, a magnitude-6.8 earthquake rocked Dingri County in Xizang Autonomous Region, southwest China. As of 6 a.m. Thursday, over 61,500 people have been affected, with temperatures dropping below minus 10 degrees Celsius! 🥶
But here's where things get heartwarming. A whopping 224 resettlement sites have sprung up, providing shelter to 47,500 residents. Think about that—it's like building a small city in just days! 🏕️✨
Winter relief items are a top priority. So far, 12,730 tents have been set up, and 1,572 stoves are keeping everyone toasty. 🔥 Not to mention, over 3,020 electric blankets and 104 trucks of fuel have rolled into the area. Talk about teamwork! 🚚
Hao Tao, the deputy head of the regional emergency management department, shared, \"The supply of disaster relief materials is generally adequate, and the living needs of the residents are basically ensured. Local residents now can have hot meals, clean drinking water, and timely medical treatment.\"
Backing up these massive efforts, the Organization Department of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee has allocated funds totaling 50 million yuan (about $6.96 million). That's some serious support! 💰
The funds are aimed at benefiting those on the front lines and the residents most affected by the disaster. It's all about coming together when it matters most. 🤝
In times of crisis, it's inspiring to see how quickly communities can mobilize to ensure everyone's safety and well-being. Sending all our positive vibes to Xizang! 🙏✨
