China's Deadliest Earthquake in a Decade Kills 131, Injures Over 980

Rescue efforts in freezing conditions and remote location transition to focus on treating the injured and resettling survivors.

China's deadliest earthquake in nearly a decade has killed at least 131 people and injured more than 980 in the northwest provinces of Gansu and Qinghai.
Rescue efforts are hampered by freezing conditions, with temperatures dropping to -20 degrees Celsius, and the remote, mountainous location.
Over 87,000 people have been temporarily resettled, many in tents, as over 200,000 buildings were damaged or destroyed.
Many survivors are without adequate clothing and are relying on bonfires and communal facilities for warmth.
Rescue work is largely completed, with efforts now focused on treating the injured and resettling survivors.
