I am reporting the latest progress for the quake rescue.
The rain stopped in the quake area this morning. It was raining heavely in the disaster area form May 12 to May 13. Our helicopters have reached epicenter(WenChuan) May 14 morning,they taken hundreds of tons food and medicine to the epicenter .The helicopters have taken back more than 1000 hurt people to the Chendu hosptial. Becuase all of the roads to epicenter were blocked, the epicenter(WenChua county) is located in a big valley, so we are reinforcing many helicopters. Goverment has assembled more than 100,000 solders in the quake area up to now. The first professional resuce troop has reached the epicenter ,they reported Wenchuan damage is a little better than our imaging.
Especially, an USA civilian rescue team reached desaster area, Our Premier (WenJiabao) met them conincident.Premier express much sincerely appreciation. We are really appreciate you American.
How bad was the rain? I couldn’t imagine a much worse fate than drowning after being trapped in earthquake rubble.
I am very happy that the rain has stopped. The people must be chilled from being wet. The sun will provide warmth. I am watching the rescue on TV and am impressed by the efforts of all that I see.
