　　Aid flown to Peru quake survivors

　　Rescue authorities in Peru have been airlifting supplies to thousands of people spending a second night in the open in sub-zero temperatures after losing their homes in Saturday’s earthquake.

　　The quake， measuring 7.9 on the Richter scale and the strongest in Peru for 30 years killed about 50 people，injured hundreds of others.

　　Littering southern Peru with rubble and debris， the earthquake triggered mudslides which blocked roads，destroyed houses and cut off electricity supplies and phone lines.

　　A huge rescue operation is still under way in southern Peru and parts of Bolivia and Chile where teams of emergency workers have continued scouring the mountains to find survivors.

　　救援物资飞抵秘鲁灾民手中

　　自星期六(6月23日)秘鲁发生地震以来，救援当局一直为数千名在地震中失去家园的灾民空运物资。目前，这些灾民已经在零摄氏度以下的严寒中“风餐露宿”了两夜。

　　这场里氏7.9级的地震是秘鲁近30年来所遇到的强度最大的地震，它造成近50人死亡，数百人受伤。

　　地震已将秘鲁南部地区化为废墟，由此引发的泥石流在导致公路被堵、房屋受损的同时，还造成电力供应和电话线路的中断。

　　在秘鲁南部以及玻利维亚和智利的部分地区，大规模的救援行动仍在紧张进行。救援人员遍布山区，企图搜寻生还者。(摘自2001年6月25日BBC新闻 周惠译)
