Rescue work continues in Dujiangyan

The southwestern city of Dujiangyan is one of the worst hit by the earthquake. Rescue work there continues. Meanwhile, the locals need food, water, and daily necessities.

The Wednesday morning rain makes things worse. Some have to light fires to keep warm. The harsh conditions are especially severe on the senior citizens.

Waibei Street is a major residential area. It's also one of the hardest hit. Scars of the quake can be seen almost everywhere in Dujiangyang .

The government provides what food and tap water it can, but this man say he's waiting for more to meet his family's daily needs.

Ambulances and medical staff from Sichuan and neighboring provinces on stand-by can be seen around the city.

This middle-aged woman has just been pulled from the debris. Her bones were broken, so doctors have decided to send her to Chengdu for better medical treatment.

This local doctor says that medical staff are still coming from around the country to offer helping hands. To the locals, this means more lives saved.

Helicopters are heading out to drop relief materials in hard-to-reach mountainous areas. And people are keeping their fingers crossed that the road to the epicenter of the earthquake will soon be repaired, to save more survivors.
