Flood of aid reaches remote quake zone
Badly-needed aid finally arrived in a remote western Chinese town shattered by a massive earthquake, including enough food and shelter for tens of thousands of homeless people.
The surge in aid coincided with the arrival yesterday of Chinese president Hu Jintao, who cut short an official trip to South America to deal with the disaster in the remote Tibetan region of Jiego where residents have frequently chafed under Chinese rule.
