In Gyirong County, southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region, workers are making reinforced gabions – rebar mesh cages filled with rocks – to support roadbed construction in mudslide-hit areas.

Rescue crews are racing to repair a section of the G216 national highway leading to Gyirong Port, which was damaged by a mudslide along the China-Nepal border.

Once completed, the reinforced gabions will be transported to disaster-hit areas. In some complex sections of the road, reinforced gabions, along with large rocks, will be placed in the fast-flowing river to build a stronger foundation for the road.
