On May 23, the Qinghai Maduo Disaster Relief Working Group of the Red Cross Foundation of China arrived in Xining and communicated with the Red Cross Society of Qinghai Province to understand the disaster situation.

The disaster relief team of the Red Cross Foundation of China, the staff of the Red Cross Society of Qinghai Province, the staff of supermarkets and volunteers worked all night, and 1000 family relief boxes were provided in four hours.

According to the arrangement of the earthquake relief headquarters, they will be distributed to the mass resettlement sites in Zhalinghu Township, Huanghe Township and Machali Town.

The relief family box of the Red Cross Foundation of China was born after the earthquake in Yiliang, Yunnan in 2012. The project adheres to the concept of "one box of disaster relief materials, one disaster affected family, and one week of emergency life", that is, taking the family as a unit, allocate the necessities to ensure the post disaster life of the disaster affected people, and ensure the basic needs of the emergency life of 3-5 people in a family for a week, and provide professional assistance services for the disaster affected people through standardized material procurement and a complete distribution system.
