Large numbers of volunteers from Gansu and other provinces are rushing to the areas hit by a magnitude-6.6 earthquake on Monday to help with relief work.
The earthquake jolted the border of Minxian and Zhangxian counties in Dingxi on Monday morning, leaving 95 dead, one missing, and more than 1,000 people injured, according to local authorities.
The NGO One Foundation sent four volunteer rescue teams and relief materials to the quake zone.
