Students take a break outside makeshift school rooms in a village in earthquake-hit Kangding County， southwest Chinas Sichuan Province， on November 23.
A 6.3-magnitude earthquake hit Kangding， a region with a predominantly Tibetan population， on November 22， followed by a second 5.8-magnitude quake that hit the same area three days later. As of November 26， the two quakes had killed five and injured 76.
The Central Government has allocated a relief fund of 50 million yuan （$8.14 million） to Kangding. Rescuers have set up more than 1，800 tents as temporary shelters for quake victims. Quilts and blankets have also been distributed.
