AmeriCares Disaster Relief Reaches Survivors of China Earthquake

AmeriCares earthquake relief supplies arrived in the devastated Chinese city of Yushu over the weekend. A 7.1 magnitude earthquake rocked remote Yushu, high in China’s northwest Qinghai province last Wednesday - the strongest quake to hit the area since 1976.

Survivors living in freezing conditions will be helped by AmeriCares donations of personal hygiene kits, blankets, food, tents, heating stoves and water. AmeriCares is working with local partners to deliver the critical aid to quake-affected areas. The aid delivery also includes two powerful electric generators and two water filtration systems.
