    Crying Tibetans need earthquake relief

    By Humanitarian  |  Posted May 30, 2008

    Tibetan people living in Heishui, Sichuan Province are suffered from

    collapsed homes. The above picture shows the rubbles of homes at Wabo

    Town Yusagou Village. All 23 houses completely collapsed.

     

    Some

    of these Tibetan people live in cottages on mountains. Their homes had

    no steel or cement. In Zhugeduo Village, Luhua Town, it was told that

    all 68 houses are severely damaged, some collapsed completely.

    Fortunately, most people are safe.

     

    Some of them live in

    mountains at elevation of 2800 meters. There is no road here. Buying

    and shipping stones and woods plus construction would cost 100,000 RMB

    (>14,000 USD) per home. No one here could afford such a home.
