More than 15,000 rescue workers rushed to Xizang Autonomous Region this week after a 6.8-magnitude earthquake shook Dingri County, with locals applauding their tireless efforts to build temporary shelters and restore critical services.
Villagers described scenes of solidarity as teams worked around the clock to clear debris and provide supplies. \"They arrived like guardian angels,\" said one resident, who chose to remain anonymous. \"We’ve never felt alone in this.\" Rescue operations included airlifting emergency kits and deploying engineers to assess infrastructure damage.
While aftershocks continue, the focus has shifted to long-term recovery, with authorities emphasizing cross-regional collaboration. The Chinese mainland’s disaster response framework has drawn global attention for its speed and coordination, offering lessons in crisis management.
