Earthquake updatesPosted by Jeremy Goldkorn, May 14, 2008 8:15 AM
 • This BBC story has comprehensive coverage of the latest information coming from the earthquake affected areas in Sichuan. • A team from America's National Public Radio happened to be in Chengdu when the quake occurred, and they are keeping a blog here. You can also listen to a radio segment called Producer Andrea Hsu on a changed reporting trip. It includes recordings of a rather cool and collected Melissa Block who was conducting an interview in a church when the earthquake struck, and other reportage from the immediate aftermath of the Sichuan quake. • Shanghaiist is keeping tabs on most English and some Chinese language sources of information on this page. They have also published a guide to donating money to the Chinese Red Cross for relief for the victims, and a list of dates and places where people in Shanghai can give blood for use in Sichuan. The Bookworm English bookstores in Beijing, Suzhou and Chengdu are also collecting donations of cash, clothing, tents and emergency blankets; take your donations there on or before this Saturday. • ESWN has a massive gallery of of photos of the after effects and victims of the quake. |

If anyone has date/time/place for donating blood in Beijing or Guangzhou, please share. Thanks.
AjS
Please. Respect the deceased. Don't post the pictures of their bodies when they are not covered.
为吾国吾民默哀......
Adam, they're asking for blood donations only in the affected areas, and requesting funds from everywhere else.
Okay, I was wrong. They are asking for blood donation elsewhere, but I haven't been able to find the addresses of the Red Cross DP centers in PEK and GUZ because I can't get on the Ch Red Cross site. I'm sorry. May be best to ask someone there to look them up in a directory.
