Rushing Aid to China's Earthquake Survivors

In the aftermath of a powerful earthquake in central China that has killed at least 22,000 people and left as many as five million homeless, Mercy Corps is responding to survivors' needs alongside a longtime local partner.

We have procured critical supplies such as water, noodles, milk and shelter items — enough to fill 22 trucks — and sent them to families in the devastated city of Mianyang.

You can help us rush relief to thousands of families who have lost homes and loved ones.
