On Saturday, a 6.1 magnitude earthquake hit China's southwestern Sichuan province. This is the same area of China that was devastated on May 12 with a 7.9 magnitude quake. So far it has been reported that 22 people have died and more than 100 are injured.
In an area already struggling after the May 12 earthquake more buildings and homes were damaged. In
Panzihihua almost 1,000 were destroyed. It is not known how many people are in the rubble.
The China Earthquake Administration has sent teams and seismic experts to the area. The Yunnan Red Cross Society has set up 3,400 tents and 2,000 quilts to shelter the victims of this quake.
