500 temporary shelters to be built for China's quake victims by Friday

02:21

A magnitude-6.2 earthquake on Monday night shattered the homes of thousands in China's northwestern Gansu and Qinghai provinces. The continuous aftershocks haven't deterred locals, who are keen to rebuild. The local government has been speeding up the process of building temporary shelters for impacted households. Local authorities expect construction to finish by Friday morning. The 500 units will then be handed over to the village management. By Thursday afternoon, 360 units had been completed. Some of the families have already moved in. CGTN's Cen Ziyuan has more.
