Tibetan people living in Heishui, Sichuan Province are suffered from

collapsed homes. The above picture shows the rubbles of homes at Wabo

Town Yusagou Village. All 23 houses completely collapsed.

Some

of these Tibetan people live in cottages on mountains. Their homes had

no steel or cement. In Zhugeduo Village, Luhua Town, it was told that

all 68 houses are severely damaged, some collapsed completely.

Fortunately, most people are safe.

Some of them live in

mountains at elevation of 2800 meters. There is no road here. Buying

and shipping stones and woods plus construction would cost 100,000 RMB

(>14,000 USD) per home. No one here could afford such a home.
