China's Deadly Gansu Earthquake Claims Over 120 Lives
At least 126 people have been killed and over 700 injured in a 6.2 magnitude earthquake in Gansu province, north-west China, making it the country's deadliest quake in 13 years. The region, which is among the poorest and most diverse in China, has been hit by poor building quality, with thousands of buildings damaged. Rescue efforts are being hindered by disrupted power and water supplies, as well as sub-zero temperatures. Chinese President Xi Jinping has ordered thousands of rescue crew to the region to minimize casualties.
