BEIJING - China's Foreign Ministry has appealed again for international help in providing more than 3.3 million tents to house survivors of last week's earthquake.
Spokesman Qin Gang said international help was urgently needed in supplying the tents.
The death toll from the May 12 earthquake has risen to more than 41,000, with the government saying it expects it to climb further.
