Australian aid teams unable to get to China quake zone
Australian rescue teams earmarked to help victims of the Chinese earthquake remain grounded because there is little access to affected areas.
Tony Pearce of Emergency Management Australia says taskforces comprising 100 people with 22 tonnes of equipment each are ready to leave for China.
But he says Australian offers of help have been turned down because conditions on the ground are so bad that Chinese rescuers have been forced to parachute into the worst-hit areas.
"If you look at the footage overnight the Chinese themselves are actual having to parachute in to some of those villages because they simply can't get access on the ground," he said.

澳大利亚救援队队长已经给出明确回应了
重灾区连空降区都无法找到
所以救援队和器材根本无法进去
所以大家也别陪某人了= =
