The Chinese embassy appeal for tents to help those sheltering outside after last week's earthquake.
The government has put out warnings that there may be serious aftershocks, so many prefer to camp outside.
The Chinese embassy has said that the earthquake victims are in urgent need of tents for shelter. Apart from tents, there is a list of urgently needed materials for the earthquake rescue.
This list is available from the Chinese embassy website:
