Rescue workers in Dujiangyan, China's southwestern Sichuan province continued a frantic rescue operation on Wednesday (May 14), to save more children trapped in the rubble of one of the schools, demolished by a powerful earthquake. Sichuan television broadcast dramatic footage of young children trapped under blocks of cement and other building material. Rescue workers could be seen comforting the children, and working on ensuring their safety with helmets and by placing bricks to secure their surroundings. China's state television said the rescue workers were trying their best but that rescue operations would take a long time. In the same city, about 900 teenagers were buried under a collapsed three-storey school building. At another school in Dujiangyan, fewer than 100 of 420 students survived, Xinhua news agency reported. Hospitals in the province had victims and patients pouring in as more survivors were found under rubble. Two days after the 7.9-magnitude earthquake hit the province of Sichuan, many people were seen rushed to the nearest hospital in Chengdu. Meanwhile in Mianyang, over ten thousand people were moved into a stadium with a few thousand of them from Beichuan county, one of the hardest-hit areas in Sichuan province. The county had over 20,000 people but only a few thousand survived. Yuan Jianguo and his wife were from Beichuan county. They moved to Mianyang City after the earthquake and he lost touch with his family members. "I have been searching for my family members since the earthquake. So far, I have gathered some information on where two of my family members are, but I have not found them," Yuan said. Little food has been given to the survivors in the stadium and many could be seen scrambling for eggs when it was given out. State television, radio and newspapers have called for blood donations across the country. People in the provincial capital Chengdu, about 100 km south-east of the epicentre Wenchuan county, started to donate blood to help those in need. Some people have been waiting for their turn for hours as more and more people were coming to donate blood. There are six blood donation centers in total in the city. In Dujiangyan, a city midway between Chengdu and the epicentre, mangled bodies could be seen lying on the streets, some barely half covered. Some local residents who have survived the quake said on Wednesday that they have no where to go, nothing to eat, and no one to help them. While China has poured more troops into the earthquake-ravaged province of Sichuan on Wednesday to quicken the search for survivors, time is quickly running out for thousands of people buried under rubble and mud. Chen Jun, a local resident in Dujiangyan, is clinging on to the hope of seeing his little boy, even though no help has been given to search through the rubble of his collapsed home. "We have no food or shelter here. I only hope that someone will come and help me dig out the body (of my child). I still hang on to some hope that he's alive. He was so young, just two years old," said Chen. Across the region, weary rescuers pulled at tangled chunks of buildings and peered into crevices for survivors after Monday's (May 12) 7.9 magnitude quake crumpled homes, schools and hospitals. The government dispatched 50,000 troops to the southwestern province to dig for survivors as the national death toll climbed past 13,000. It is likely to rise steeply after state media said 19,000 were buried in Sichuan's Mianyang area alone. Hundreds of aftershocks were felt and for those whose houses remain, they were too afraid to return home. Many are still shocked at what has happened. The quake is the worst to hit China since 1976, when up to 300,000 people died.
