Due to the current lack of smooth transportation channels in the disaster area, we suggest that netizens temporarily focus on cash donations. According to media reports from the front lines, the disaster area is currently gathering necessary food supplies, especially biscuits, milk, powdered milk, bread, and mineral water. Additionally, tents and medical supplies are also crucial for disaster relief efforts. With numerous injured individuals, hospitals urgently need blood supplies for patient treatment; thus, donating blood is a feasible method of assistance if conditions allow.
