Around 34,000 people are confirmed dead and around
220,000 have been injured after a 7.9 magnitude earthquake
struck south-western China. The quake, which is the most
severe to hit China for three decades, occurred on Monday
May 12 2008 at 14.28 local time (06.28 GMT) in Wenchuan
county and was felt as far away as Beijing and Bangkok.Thousands of people are still trapped under flattened buildings
and rescuers are searching through the rubble with their bare
hands as rescue operations are hampered by heavy rains and
road blocks caused by fallen boulders and landslides.The high numbers of people still missing means that the death
toll is likely to rise considerably over the coming days and
China’s one-child policy means that many of those waiting for
news of loved one’s may well lose their only child. In some
areas as many as 80 percent of homes have been destroyed.
Tents and makeshift shelters cover every available stretch of
land.
