On January 7, 2025, at 9:05 A.M., a 6.8-magnitude earthquake hit Dingri County in Shigatse, Tibet, causing significant casualties and the collapse of numerous buildings.

The earthquake has tugged at the hearts of the people in Shanghai. To assist the people in the affected areas in resuming their normal lives and production as soon as possible, and to fully support the rescue efforts and post-disaster reconstruction, the Yangpu Representative Office of the Shanghai Charity Foundation (SCF), under the unified arrangement of SCF, has initiated a special campaign called "Shanghai's Love Warms Dingri - Aiding Quake Relief in Dingri and Other Quake-hit Areas in Shigatse". This campaign accepts social donations in cash and supplies.

Disasters are merciless, but human compassion prevails. Currently, all rescue operations are in full swing. According to the plans of the CPC Shanghai Municipal Committee and the Shanghai Municipal People's Government, the CPC Yangpu District Committee and the Yangpu District People's Government have responded swiftly, extending their condolences to the affected areas immediately and urgently raising 2 million yuan in special funds for Lhatse County, Shigatse. These funds are designated for rescue operations and the resettlement of the affected people. The Lhatse division of Shanghai's 10th Tibet-aiding cadre liaison group has swiftly joined local officials and residents in the rescue efforts.

In the meantime, the Cooperation and Exchange Office of Yangpu District People's Government is actively assessing the needs for rescue materials and coordinating with the Yangpu Representative Office of SCF, the Red Cross Society of Yangpu, and other relevant departments for fundraising efforts.
