On November 1, 2011, a magnitude 6.0 earthquake struck Yili, Xinjiang, China
On November 1, 2011 (October 6, 2011 lunar calendar), a magnitude 6.0 earthquake occurred in Yili, Xinjiang, China. At 8:21 am on November 1, 2011, a magnitude 6.0 earthquake occurred at the junction of Yining County and Gongliu County, Yili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang, China. When the reporter drove more than 800 kilometers to the hardest-hit Gongliu County, it was 22:00 at night. The affected people had begun to prepare for the night in disaster relief tents. In Agalsen Township, 20 kilometers away from Gongliu County, the house of herder Eli Baisen was damaged in the earthquake. The reporter saw that one wall of his house had collapsed, the indoor soil bed was exposed, and the cold wind kept pouring into the house. At the same time: The earthquake started after 8 o'clock in Agalsen Township, Gongliu County, Xinjiang, China. My daughter-in-law and I ran outside the house with the doll in our arms. At this time, we heard a loud noise. I turned to this side and found that a wall had collapsed. We waited in the yard until dawn. Then the village cadres came to see and said that there would be no more people living in the house, so they would set up a tent for us. Before the earthquake, Xinjiang had just passed a large-scale cold wave, and it had snowed in most parts of northern Xinjiang. Especially after nightfall, the temperature dropped to minus 6 degrees Celsius. Since many herdsmen's houses had become dangerous, the local emergency department set up temporary tents for the affected people to ensure that all the relocated herdsmen would not stay outdoors overnight. At 22:00 on the evening of the 1st, farmer Ma Aishe and his two children had moved into the disaster relief tent set up by firefighters and soldiers. When the reporter arrived at Ma Aishe's house, the tent had been connected to electricity, and Ma Aishe also laid out electric blankets for the children. Feng Xinming, deputy secretary of the Party Committee of Agalsen Township, told reporters that after the earthquake, township cadres immediately inspected more than 7,000 farmers and herdsmen's families' houses, schools, organs, units and other houses in the township, and conducted a preliminary assessment of casualties and livestock losses. After the earthquake, the relevant departments of civil affairs, earthquake, meteorology, public security and transportation in Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture have dispatched 135 rescue teams at the prefectural, county and township levels to carry out rescue work in the disaster area. Now, all kinds of relief materials are flowing to the disaster area. The Civil Affairs Department of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region has allocated 2,000 sets of quilts and 1,000 pairs of cotton shoes to the disaster area. Counties and cities in Yili Prefecture have also mobilized tents, coal, food, clothing and other relief materials to distribute to the victims.
