UNICEF: Helping Chinese children cope with trauma

MIANYANG CITY, China, 21 May 2008— Wang Yue, a fourth-grade primary school student can't think about the events of last week's earthquake in Sichuan province without crying.

"When the earthquake happened, I had just finished my work in the vegetable garden and planned to watch TV. In less than a minute, the earth started to quake. I didn't know it was an earthquake in the first place. My only thought was to rush out. After I escaped, the house just fell to the ground," she said.

UNICEF is part of a high level Chinese government mission to Sichuan province that will provide immediate support for children who are suffering mental trauma.
