Sichuan Quake Relief has begun to conduct research to identify pockets in the Yushu disaster area that have not yet been reached with aid and medical support. As of this afternoon (April 16) locals report that Longbao town, 75kms from Jiegu Town, is in need of support.
The road from Jiegu to Longbao is now accessible. The town has a population of 8,700 (1,800 families). Initial reports indicate that the town was severely affected by the quake and there is a high death toll and many injuries. The survivors are in need of:
- basic medical supplies (mostly bandages, antibiotics, painkillers etc.)
- tents
- blankets
- a power generator
- water
- instant food.
All these supplies can be purchased in Xining and trucked to Longbao in a matter of hours with the support of local officials.
Donations can be made via our donations page marked “Yushu”.
