Tibetan people living in Heishui, Sichuan Province are suffered from collapsed homes. The above picture shows the rubbles of homes at Wabo Town Yusagou Village. All 23 houses completely collapsed.

Some of these Tibetan people live in cottages on mountains. Their homes had no steel or cement. In Zhugeduo Village, Luhua Town, it was told that all 68 houses are severely damaged, some collapsed completely. Fortunately, most people are safe.

Some of them live in mountains at elevation of 2800 meters. There is no road here. Buying and shipping stones and woods plus construction would cost 100,000 RMB (>14,000 USD) per home. No one here could afford such a home.
