On August 26 at approximately 10:30 AM, a sudden debris flow originating from the Nepalese side slammed into the Gyirong Port area of Gyirong County, Shigatse City, Tibet. As of 8:00 PM that same day, preliminary verification indicates the disaster has claimed three lives, with 265 people still listed as missing. The exact casualty count remains under further investigation as rescue operations proceed in an orderly manner.
In the wake of the catastrophe, a coalition of 52 compassionate entertainers, including Huang Xiaoming, Tong Liya, Xiao Zhan, Yang Zi, Dilraba Dilmurat, Wang Yibo, Zhao Liying, Yu Shuxin, Tan Jianci, and Ju Jingyi, swiftly mobilized through the Huang Xiaoming Tomorrow Love Fund. They have allocated 500,000 yuan and dispatched a thousand emergency supply kits to the disaster-stricken Gyirong Port region.
The Huang Xiaoming Tomorrow Love Fund has enacted three urgent response measures. First, it will channel 500,000 yuan in relief funds through the China Social Assistance Foundation, earmarked specifically for rescue operations and the resettlement of affected residents. Second, given the on-the-ground reports of low nighttime temperatures, persistent rainfall, and a damp chill around 5 degrees Celsius at Gyirong Port, the fund has urgently coordinated 1,000 portable emergency kits. Each kit contains 14 essential items, including thermal blankets, towels, socks, gloves, protective masks, sulfur soap, iodine swabs, cooling oil, band-aids, toothbrushes, toothpaste, and portable carry bags, to alleviate the immediate needs of those affected. Third, a dedicated relief team has been dispatched from Lhasa, traveling overnight to reach permissible areas. They will report back on local conditions, allowing the fund to adjust, track, and escalate its relief efforts based on real-time needs from the frontlines.
In addition, the official fan club of Bai Lu has launched a collective donation initiative on the Weigongyi platform, encouraging followers known as "Lurong" to contribute. The project, titled "Disaster Prevention and Reduction, Love in Action," designates the Xinjiang Hongshi Charity Foundation as the recipient of the funds.
According to incomplete statistics, multiple corporations have also announced donations on the same day. Alibaba activated its disaster emergency response mechanism immediately, prioritizing the supply of rescue materials along the border frontline. Recognizing the challenging and perilous nature of the rescue efforts, the company has gathered a first batch of 2,900 boxes of essential goods, including food and drinking water, which will arrive at the local disaster command center tonight. A second shipment of 5,000 boxes of instant noodles is scheduled to depart from Shigatse for the disaster zone tomorrow.
In response to the Ministry of Emergency Management's coordination mechanism for government and social security supplies, the Tencent Charity Foundation has announced an initial investment of 20 million yuan in disaster preparedness funds. This supports the Gyirong disaster areas and partners with the Aide Foundation, the Red Cross Society of China, and the China Siyuan Project Foundation to rapidly launch a "Disaster Relief Hourly Delivery" project. This initiative involves sourcing and transporting essential items such as food, water, raincoats, rain boots, power banks, flashlights, and generators from nearby locations to the frontlines.
Meanwhile, the beverage brand Mixue Bingcheng has donated 1 million yuan to support emergency material security, urgent relief for affected residents, and post-disaster recovery efforts in the affected areas.
