In the aftermath of a magnitude-6.8 earthquake that struck Xigaze in southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) and People's Armed Police Force have mobilized swiftly to support affected communities. Working tirelessly day and night, troops are distributing hot meals, warm clothing, and essential supplies to residents displaced by the disaster.
Rapid Response Amidst Challenges
Braving harsh weather and damaged infrastructure, PLA officers have set up temporary relief stations to ensure displaced families receive meals and medical care. One soldier shared, 'Our priority is ensuring no one goes hungry or cold—every minute counts.' Local authorities report over 10,000 hot meals have been distributed so far.
Community Resilience Shines
Amidst the rubble, stories of hope emerge. A mother of two, now staying in a PLA-provided tent, told NewspaperAmigo.com, 'The soldiers brought us blankets and food when we felt most helpless.' Social media hashtags like #XizangStrong are trending as netizens praise the relief efforts.
