| China's post-earthquake challenge: five million homeless |
| 2008-05-21 |
| China is grappling with the next massive task in the aftermath of its earthquake: how to shelter the five million people left homeless. Many were living Tuesday in tent cities like one at the base of Qianfo mountain in the disaster zone. The makeshift city offers some stability, along with food and medical care, to those whose lives were upended. "After the quake, we couldn't sleep for five days. We were really, really afraid," said Chen Shigui, 55, a weathered farmer who climbed for two days with his wife and injured father to reach the camp from their mountain village. "I felt relieved when we got here. It's much safer compared to my home." |
