Beijing:
The death toll from the devastating earthquake that struck a Tibetan
area in northwest China’s Qinghai Province rose to 1,100 on Saturday
morning, with another 417 remaining missing.
Wednesday’s earthquake that measured 7.1 on the Richter scale, is
believed to be the strongest to hit the country in nearly two years,
and has left 11,744 people injured, including 1,192 serious cases.
Rescuers said that the toll is expected to rise as freezing nights,
with temperatures around minus three degrees C, become increasingly
difficult for survivors under the debris to bear.Altitude sickness
and low oxygen have already caused tremendous challenges for
rescuers, volunteers and reporters alike, The China Daily reports.
The quake and a string of aftershocks, the biggest being 6.3
magnitude, toppled houses, temples, gas stations and electric poles,
triggered landslides, damaged roads, cut power supplies and
disrupted telecommunications. A reservoir also developed cracks,
which workers are trying to patch.
Chinese President Hu Jintao and Premier Wen Jiabao have ordered
local authorities to spare no effort in search and rescue
operations, and in the caring of the victims.
According to the Qinghai provincial government, over 5,000 rescuers,
including soldiers and medical workers, are at the quake-hit region.
Authorities in the neighboring provinces of Gansu and Sichuan and
the Tibet autonomous region are also involved in the rescue efforts.
