Hey guys, following on from the earthquake in Qinghai Google have now released photos from their satellites of the destruction the 6.9 earthquake caused last Tuesday. You can even view the images from Google Earth:
Over 17,000 people have been rescued so far from the wreckage but it is estimated 1,700 lives have been claimed by the earthquake.
People in the quake zone have set up basic shelter food and water supply, but it is difficult to get supplies up to them as the area is 4,000 metres above sea level. Many charities such as Oxfam, World Vision and MercyCorps are providing aid to those out there who have lost everything so please dig deep and give what you can.
