No time for idle quibbling

Getting united to do everything we can to save more lives is the top priority at this moment, says an article in China Youth Daily. The following is an excerpt:

Several days have passed since the earthquake rocked Sichuan province. Because of the severe damage to roads and the heavy rain, the rescuers still do not have exact information about the casualty or about how many people are still stuck in the debris, nor do people know whether the survivors are getting proper food and medicine.

As the troops are racing against time to get to the disaster-hit areas and save those in need, some are raising various questions about the efficiency of the rescue teams or the forecasts issued by the seismologists.
