Feeding the Millions Left Homeless in China

(17 May 08 - RV)

More than a day past what experts call the critical
three-day window for finding survivors, rescue workers in China saved a 10-year-old girl who had been trapped under her collapsed elementary school for 100 hours, and a 52 year-old man pinned under rubble for nearly 120.

Experts however say the death toll could reach 50 thousand while authorities prepare for the daunting task of housing and feeding millions left homeless.

ICRC spokesperson Matthew Cochran told us the Chinese government’s response has been impressive.
