Volunteers and telecommunications workers aid flood-hit Guangxi

Volunteers and telecommunications workers have delivered food and emergency supplies and restored communications to communities cut off by flooding and landslides in Hengzhou, Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region.

In Yunbiao township, fruit shop owner Zhou Bin and his wife organized more than 30 volunteers to make 2,000 zongzi (glutinous rice dumplings wrapped in bamboo leaves) for displaced residents and rescue workers. Using nine stoves, the group worked for six hours overnight before delivering the food to a temporary resettlement site at 7:30 am Thursday.
