Contact made with quake-struck Wenchuan
MORE than 30,000 people are now safe in shelters in Wenchuan County, Sichuan Province, the epicenter of yesterday’s 7.8-magnitude quake, said the head of the local government early today.
Wang Bin, Party secretary of Wenchuan, was contacted at 1:15am today via a satellite phone call. It was the county’s first contact with the outside world and came almost 11 hours after all telecommunications lines were cut due to the earthquake at 2:28pm yesterday.
Wang said most of the houses in the county had collapsed and residents chose to stay away from their homes out of fear of aftershocks.
Wenchuan needs tents, food, doctors, medicine and satellite communication facilities, Wang added.
The scale of damage in the nearby counties of Yinxiu, Xuankou and Wolong remained unknown due to damaged communications and transport networks.
