"Deadly China Earthquake Claims Over 120 Lives in Freezing Temperatures"

The death toll from China's deadliest earthquake in nearly a decade has surpassed 127, with over 700 people injured. Rescue efforts are underway in freezing temperatures, with thousands of homes damaged or uninhabitable. The earthquake, measured at magnitude 6.2 by Chinese authorities and 5.9 by the US Geological Survey, displaced tens of thousands of people and triggered a landslide. The affected region, one of the poorest in China, is facing challenges due to disrupted water, electricity, and mobile signals. The quake marks the highest death toll since 2014, when an earthquake in Yunnan province claimed 617 lives.
