Within hours after the earthquake struck, the international relief organization began efforts to raise awareness and relief support for the areas hit hardest in China. More information on AmeriCares and what you can do to help can be found at AmeriCares.org.    "I hope everyone who can will support this effort," said Rey.  "The Chinese people faced a terrible catastrophe and they need our help."

At this point, AmeriCares has airlifted medicine and supplies totaling approximately $1.5 million to China, as well as to Myamar, and are currently coordinating the delivery of a field hospital to Qingchuan in the northern Sichuan Province. AmeriCares has partnered with the International Organization for Migration to ensure supplies reach emergency clinics throughout the affected regions.

On the afternoon of May 12, at 2:28 p.m. (2:28 a.m. ET) China was shaken by a 7.9 magnitude earthquake -- the nation's most devastating earthquake in more than thirty years. To date, an estimated 87,000 people are counted as deceased or missing after the disaster. Since the original quake, more than 4,000 aftershocks have occurred including one of a 6.4 magnitude that struck Qingchuan on May 25.
