4-20 news, China prime minister - Li Ke Qiang(李克强) promised all earthquake victims in Lu Shan county, China government provide 1kg free food and ¥10 money per day for each person, continue subsidy each person for 6 months.

Mr Li: 1kg free food and ¥10 per day for each victim,continue for 6 months /李克强:每人每天补助1斤粮食10元钱 补助六个月
 
Due to experience obtained in 2008 earthquake, this time the authorities were considerably more prepared and the people have greater disaster awareness. I don't think the death toll will exceed a thousand.
 
It is true, we get terrible earthquakes in Western China and terrible Typhoons on the Eastern coast.

However, I don't think it is the worst in the world. Haiti and Japan for example get it really bad.

RIP to the dead. These kind of disasters leave quite a shock in the minds of the affected for a long time. I am one of the victim/witness of the super cyclone in India (Orissa) in 1999. Never felt a earthquake which is more destructive and leaves greater trauma because of its suddenness and unpredictability.
 
4-21 Earthquake victims told journalists Bao Xin county, Tai Ping town lack water and food. But the support seems still stuck in traffic...
