Chinese trade unions allocate $2.5 million for earthquake relief

All-China Federation of Trade Unions has allocated 18 million yuan ($2.5 million) for rescue work to Northwest China's Gansu province and its neighboring Qinghai province on Tuesday after Gansu was hit by a 6.2-magnitude earthquake at midnight Monday.
The federation said that the funds will be used to support provincial-level trade union federations in Gansu and Qinghai to let them express consolation and assistance to injured people and those killed in the earthquake and also to help the workers serving in rescue teams.
The federation requires the two provincial-level trade union federations to increase funds or financial support and deliver assistance to injured people or rescue team members as soon as possible.
The earthquake has so far killed 105 people in Gansu and 13 people in Qinghai, according to local governments.
