On May 12, a strong earthquake measured at 7.8 on the Richter scale happened in Sichuan province, China. It is so strong that many people in other provinces, including those in Beijing, over 1500 km away from epicenter, felt the earthquake.

Death toll in Sichuan Province alone has exceeded 12,000 by 4 pm Tuesday, more than 9,400 people were buried in debris, and at least 60,000 people are still unaccounted for in epicenter Wenchuan County. More than 3.46 million houses were wracked.

For those who want to contribute to the relief effort, here are some donation information.

If you are outside China:

1. You can make donation via Paypal to Jet Li One Foundation, a charity foundation by Kung Fu movie star Jet Li. The donations will goes to Red Cross Society of China. The page is all in Chinese, but I think you can find the Paypal button on the right. But it seems you cannot specify the donation is special for earthquake when paying through Paypal, by remittance you can.
