Relief teams ensure timely aid delivery in earthquake-hit Xizang
In the wake of the 6.8 magnitude earthquake that struck Dingri county in the Xizang autonomous region on Tuesday, China has launched a comprehensive and rapid response to ensure the timely delivery of aid and the restoration of critical infrastructure.
The Ministry of Transport immediately activated emergency protocols to clear damaged roads and coordinate relief efforts, while Air China played a key role in providing airlift support to the region, ensuring that essential personnel and supplies reached the hardest-hit areas without delay.
By Wednesday morning, all seven affected national and provincial highways had been cleared, with transportation routes restored to facilitate emergency responses. Although rural roads experienced varying degrees of damage, some critical sections in the area have been cleared, enabling emergency vehicles to pass freely, the ministry said.
The ministry swiftly established a dedicated earthquake disaster relief team led by senior officials, focusing on coordinated efforts to clear transportation routes and facilitate relief work. Experts in fields such as bridges, roads, geology and pavements were dispatched to the affected areas to provide on-site guidance for road clearance and post-disaster reconstruction.
