China calls for 3.3 million tents
China says it needs 3.3 million tents or pop-up shelters for the survivors of last week's massive earthquake.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Qin Gang told reporters on Thursday that only 400,000 tents are now available. He called on the international community to prioritize tents in offering aid to China.
China says at least 5.2 million survivors have lost their homes. The government has ordered domestic manufacturers to produce tents around-the-clock.
