As truckloads of food, water and tents poured in severe weather, a state of relative peace had begun to return to Gyegu. Vendors returned to the streets, selling daily necessities and other goods to the people in need for the first time since the 7.1 magnitude earthquake—China?s strongest in nearly two years—which destroyed nearly 90 percent of buildings.
Badlyneeded daily necessities as well as a lot of television sets arrived Monday morning from Xining, the provincial capital 840km away. Earlier efforts to send aid to this remote plateau town, home to 100,000 people, had been prevented by poor road and weather conditions as well as heavy traffic.
Survivors packed temporary phone rooms on Gyegu?s main street, trying to make free calls to relatives and friends or recharge their cellphones.
Although most survivors are housed in governmentissued tents, some people were still staying in the open by the side of their flattened homes.
Evening temperatures dropped to below freezing point in Yushu, and there was a little snow and rain on Monday afternoon.
The Ministry of Commerce said in Beijing that it had sent 3,000 stoves and some mobile shops to the quakehit region. The stoves arrived in Xining on Tuesday, the ministry said.
Electricity supply had been restored to prequake levels as of Monday morning, according to Gu Junyuan, chief engineer of the State Electricity Regulatory Commission.
