On Monday 12th May, an earthquake with a magnitude of 7.9 devestated the Sichuan province of China. More than 71,000 people are feared dead, buried or missing and more than 220,000 were injured.
Relief aid of over $860m USD has been raised from within China and abroad, but the Chinese foreign ministry have appealed to the International community for more tents, indicating a potentially huge problem in housing people displaced by the earthquake.
This month, we would ask you to help Stand Up For Tibet by considering donating aid to the people of China using the links below, by sending flowers with messages of condolence to your local Chinese embassy or by simply keeping the victims of this tradgedy in your thoughts and prayers. We believe that in standing up for those in greatest need, we are also Standing Up for Tibet.
