One possible version:

On May 12th , 2008, a worst earthquake in the past decades struck Sichuan Province, China. People suffered great loss in their lives and properties.

Most buildings were razed in worst-hit areas with so many people, including school students, buried underneath the ruins. Roads and communication facilities  have been completely destroyed ,thus cut off from outside. A large number of school buildings collapsed and only a few teachers and students escaped. What was worse, days of rain has held back relief efforts.

Fortunately, our government is taking effective measures to rescue those trapped and buried. Premier Wen Jiabao was quick to reach the scene and personally oversaw the relief work. "As long as there is even a little hope, we will redouble our efforts 100 times and will never relax our efforts,” he told crying locals. Troops and medical teams have been rushed to dig for survivors and treat the injured without a moment’s rest. The population in the surrounding countryside is helping donating food and water for those affected. Financial aid has been pouring in from all over China. Substantial donations from other countries and humanitarian organizations have also been offered.

I believe we can certainly overcome the disaster with the public and the government working together.
