A 5.7 magnitude quake in Sichuan left thousands more homeless:
“BEIJING - Rescuers appealed for temporary housing and tents Monday after a weekend earthquake in southwest China killed at least 36 people, injured hundreds and left tens of thousands of homes in ruins.
The temblor Saturday in Sichuan province, which the U.S. Geological Survey measured at magnitude 5.7, struck along the same fault line as a May 12 earthquake that killed nearly 70,000.
‘We need temporary houses … we need more than 10,000 tents,’ said Zhang Hai, head of the foreign liaison office of the Communist Party propaganda department in Panzhihua city. ‘This is a mountainous place and so we can’t build temporary houses everywhere.’”
