Chinese soldiers unload relief supplies from a military cargo plane at Yushu Airport in quake-hit Yushu County, northwest China's Qinghai Province, April 17, 2010. A total of 160 tons of relief supplies including more than 1,000 tents were flown urgently in eight flights to the county on Saturday before the forecasted middle-class storm comes. Qinghai's Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of Yushu was jolted by a 7.1-magnitude earthquake Wednesday morning, which has left at least 1,484 people dead. [Xinhua]
