Chinese across the country, still haunted by the deadly 8.0-magnitude earthquake in Sichuan in 2008, are doing what they can to help the quake-hit northwestern province of Qinghai.

Qinghai's Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of Yushu was jolted by a 7.1-magnitude earthquake Wednesday morning, which has left 760 people dead.

The Beijing's municipal government, the city's Party committee, and the Shanghai Civil Affairs Bureau have donated ten million yuan (about 1.47 million U.S. dollars) to Yushu, while the provincial governments of Liaoning and Fujian each gave five million, the Ministry of Civil Affairs said in a report on its website.

An additional 3.5 million yuan was donated by Jiangxi, Jiangsu, Gansu and Hebei Provinces.

Beijing has allocated 10,000 tents, 20,000 folded beds, and 100,000 cotton quilts for the quake-hit region, with Jiangxi Province adding in another 10,000 quilts.

Meanwhile, the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League of China raised three million yuan for quake relief, while its affiliated China Youth Development Foundation sent an emergency team with medicine, food, and other relief supplies worth one million yuan to the quake-hit zones.

The State Ethnic Affairs Commission, the Ministry of Commerce (MOC) and the All-China Women's Federation each donated 1 million yuan to Yushu.

The MOC also ordered to ensure supply of instant noodles, drinking water, ham sausages, boxed milk, among other foods, and emergency lamps, tents, cold-proof clothes, generators and lifting jacks.

The Bank of China has donated 5.5 million yuan to Yushu and opened "Green Channels" to facilitate donation remittance service.

The Supreme People's Court donated 500,000 yuan to Yushu and pledged to help local court staff to recover damaged property.

The China Charity Federation called on the public to donate and to help the victims in earthquake. The federation donated 1 million yuan to the Qinghai Charity Foundation to save the injured, relocate affected people and assist their life.
