The death toll from the most deadly earthquake to hit China in more than three decades today reached nearly 10,000 in Sichuan province alone, the state-run Xinhua news agency reported.
Worst hit was Sichuan province’s Beichuan county, where a further 10,000 were feared injured and 80% of the buildings were flattened, including eight schools and one hospital.
As reports trickled in from areas that had been cut off since the earthquake hit this morning, the death toll is expected to rise.
There are fears over some 900 students buried in a secondary school in the city of Dujiangyan, also in Beichuan county.
I heard about the earthquake and 20,000 died. I don’t know if you experienced the earthquake, but hope you’re ok.
first the blizzard, now this. china’s getting a lot of attention from mother nature, huh? dito rin nagkaron ng earthquake..
anyway, i wanted to comment on your latest post about keeping up with reading blogs. i feel the same way, sobra. ang hirap talaga especially now that im swamped with work. so what i do is, i just read those i think are important for me. and i couldn’t agree more with your last statement. napaisip ako dun.
