Despite media reports stating that the earthquake happened in China, the disaster actually occured in the heart of Tibet, where most of the population are Tibetan.

 
 

Tibetans in neighbouring regions have come together to show their support for the relief effort, some donating the equivalent of a month's salary.

 

The earthquake hit Yushu in the early hours of Wednesday 14 April 2010. Hundreds have been killed and thousands injured in the disaster.

 
 

The Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama, who was born in the area, has requested permission from China to visit the quake victims in Yushu.
