In Focus: Sichuan Earthquake Recovery
Last Saturday, a destructive earthquake struck China’s Sichuan province, near the epicenter of the devastating 2008 earthquake, damaging thousands of structures and triggering landslides in the mountainous region. As of yesterday, the death toll stood at more than 200, with nearly 12,000 injured, 23 still missing, and tens of thousands made homeless. The quake was measured at magnitude 7.0 by China’s earthquake administration and magnitude of 6.6 by the U.S. Geological Survey. Rescue teams and government aid personnel have struggled to reach the affected area, as many roads were damaged.

Hi Mrs Joyce,

I can also see there most misrible face I could ever see in my whole intier life! I can see mistierries people seting on a table with an absarlotly faxtated surrounding around them! I think there people sitting on that mistearries table are homeless and there good they have must he scraps people leave behind like at resturaunts and cafes! I think their classroom musent of been looked after properly because obviosly you can see all of the ripped pieces of paper all over the floor! Now we won’t want whant our classroom looking like that do we! I wonder if there is a solution to change this mess so e can change peoples lifes!? How many peoples lives went at risk just because they were homeless!?
Hello Mrs Joyce I am concerned that people aren’t interacting with the blog.
I can see classrooms that have so many cracks in it that it could collapse any minute. It doesn’t look very well built any way. There are books everywhere and the chairs and tables are tipped over and scattered everywhere that the floor that you can’t walk anywhere without standing on anything. There are miserable faces that see dispare and dessparation. They have lost everything and maybe even some family members. I feel so sorry and sad they have lost just about everything. My eyes are fixated on the damage around them and on their emotional faces. How’s my people actually does during this?
