The Situation
An explosion in an underground gas well on 23 December, located in Gao Qiao town in Chonqing city's Kaixian county in the north eastern part of Chongqing province, resulted in the release of hydrogen sulfide, which is highly toxic when inhaled. The explosion - the worst of its kind in China's history - is thought to be caused by a puncture to the highly pressurised gas well caused by drilling.
The explosion occurred late at night, while people in the neighbouring villages were sleeping and affected 18,000 families in the surrounding rural farming communities including the towns of Yihe, Shangba and Zishui. Xiaoyang village, the village closest to the explosion was the most devastated by the explosion which resulted in the deaths of nearly all of the village's residents, entire families were lost due to the inhalation of the toxic fumes, while 600 people in Zhonghe required treatment for poisoning and chemical burns. According to the latest reports from the Red Cross Society of China's (RCSC) Chonqing Provincial branch a total of 234 people have died from inhaling the toxic fumes and some 13,000 families of the total 18,000 affected by the explosion are being classified as "seriously affected." The central area is still isolated for disinfecting. Many domestic animals were killed due to gas inhalation and crops have been contaminated.
As of 29 December, some families are reported to be returning to their homes while the branch is reporting that 60,000 people are still unable to return home and are requiring food while the latest number of those injured due to the explosion is reported to be around 1,000 people. The government is making efforts to dispel the toxic gas from the area and has set up temporary shelters for individuals evacuated as a result of the accident.
About 64,000 people ran away from their native places into the downtown of Kaixian County.
Red Cross/Red Crescent Action
Some 1,050 people have been treated for injuries by the medical team deployed by the Provincial branch in response to the emergency. Common injuries attributed to the explosion have been severe burns, eye problems and respiratory problems.
The branch reports that 50 people remain in critical condition while 800 have been hospitalised.
