Sustain global aid for Yushu

The reconstruction effort at Yushu in Northwest China, which was hit by a devastating earthquake on April 14, is underway and the international community, including humanitarian organizations, is expected to continue giving financial and material aid to the victims who have yet to fully recover from the psychological trauma.

The international community reacted swiftly to the tragedy and showed their solidarity by sending condolence messages to the Chinese government. Foreign leaders and heads of international and regional organizations also commiserated with Chinese leaders after the powerful earthquake.

These messages went hand-in-hand with international efforts to send aid to the quake victims.
