CONSTRUCTION began yesterday on the largest housing project yet for survivors of the earthquake that leveled a county in northwest China's Qinghai Province.
The Denyingge residential project in Gyegu Town, in the heart of Yushu County, covers 47 hectares.
The 7.1-magnitude quake on April 14 destroyed most structures in Gyegu Town, the quake's epicenter, leaving almost 3,000 people dead or missing and more than 120,000 homeless.
The new homes will be two-story, Tibetan-style houses.
Officials gave no timetable for construction, nor did they say how many people the new homes would accommodate. The rehousing project will take up to three years, so most of the homeless will be sheltered in quilted tents this winter. Officials said about 50,000 such tents would be delivered to Yushu before the end of September.
