Over 400 Rescued After 7.1 Magnitude Earthquake in Tibet

More than 400 individuals trapped under rubble after yesterday’s 7.1 magnitude earthquake in Tibet have been rescued, according to Chinese authorities. However, an unknown number remain missing as over 14,000 rescue workers continue to search the region. The harsh cold is hindering efforts, with temperatures dropping as low as -16 degrees Celsius, increasing the risk of hypothermia. Large areas remain difficult to access, exacerbating the situation. The earthquake has claimed at least 126 lives and destroyed thousands of homes, prompting urgent humanitarian assistance.
