Al Jazeera correspondent Melissa Chan reports from Sichuan on the rescue efforts following China's deadly earthquake. ...china earthquake disaster

China were hit by a powerful earthquake with a magnitude of 7.8 on May 12, 2008. Tens of thousands of people have died so far, while still, many survivors remain trapped in rubble from collapsed buildings, awaiting rescue. The majorities of these people are poor and have been poor for all of their lives. Now they lost their homes and are homeless. While we are lamenting for those who have died, we know that those who survived will still carry on. Food, medicine, temporary shelters...are just a few examples of help that this region desperately needs, to help save more lives, rebuild homes and cure the hearts burned in this sad disaster. We need to show them that love still exists on this earth and encourage them to carry on. Your kind help is highly appreciated!

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears,
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears,
I will hold your hand through all of these,
and let you know that you are NOT alone!

Chinese authorities have sent out more than 130,000 soldiers and police, to help search for survivors, after Monday's devastating quake. Al Jazeera's Tony Cheng has followed emergency teams up into the mountains, where they finally reached one of those remote villages.
