Stranded Chinese construction workers call in the drones for emergency supplies

More than 100 Chinese construction workers became stranded on an island after a torrential downpour and needed drones to send them relief supplies, local media reported.

The workers had been camping on the island in the Fu River near the town of Yongming in the southwestern province of Sichuan and the downpour meant that the dinghies which usually sent supplies were unable to cross safely, according to Chengdu Business Dail y.

Although no one’s life was in immediate danger, the workers who had been building facilities for tourists asked police for help on Tuesday because they were running low on vital necessities.
