Miners' families send clothes, medicines and water

To save the miners' lives, efforts have been made both at the frontline by the rescuers and by their families, who have sent clothes and medicines to rescuers, a team member told China Daily.

Guan Zhengfeng, former director of Guanzhuang village, offered to boil water for rescuers. The 68-year-old boiled 200 buckets of water every day for 30 days. Five of the 11 miners from his village were trapped underground.
