(CFP)

Students take a break outside makeshift school rooms in a village in earthquake-hit Kangding County, southwest China's Sichuan Province, on November 23.

A 6.3-magnitude earthquake hit Kangding, a region with a predominantly Tibetan population, on November 22, followed by a second 5.8-magnitude quake that hit the same area three days later. As of November 26, the two quakes had killed five and injured 76.

The Central Government has allocated a relief fund of 50 million yuan ($8.14 million) to Kangding. Rescuers have set up more than 1,800 tents as temporary shelters for quake victims. Quilts and blankets have also been distributed.
