Following a powerful magnitude 6.8 earthquake in the foothills of the Himalayas, more than 400 individuals trapped have been rescued, while over 30,000 residents are relocated. The quake struck near Tingri, Tibet, leading to significant destruction with 3,609 homes reported damaged and at least 126 fatalities.
