    Lan's hometown was hit by a s {#blank#}2{#/blank#}earthquake on April 20. At least 196 people were killed and more than 11,000 were injured. Many people became homeless. Soldiers and doctors q{#blank#}3{#/blank#}arrived in the area, saving people and rebuilding homes. Lots of money was sent there to help all those in need.

This helps people to stay a{#blank#}9{#/blank#}after an earthquake.
