Wolong pandas get much needed food and medicines

CHENGDU: The government has sent 4,500 kg of bamboos, 1,050 kg of bamboo shoots, and huge quantities of apples, soybean, eggs, milk powder and other food items to feed the giant pandas in China Giant Panda Protection and Research Center in Wolong.

Medicines, too, have been sent to treat the pandas, some of whom were injured in the quake.

The center has suffered extensive damage because it is just 30 km from the epicenter of the May 12 quake.
