Tens of thousands of people have been killed or injured by the
devastating earthquake that struck south west China on 12 May. Many
more have lost their homes and the death toll continues to rise.
The epicentre of the 7.9 magnitude quake was Wenchuan County in
Sichuan Province, with another seven provinces affected. Tremors were
felt as far away as the capital Beijing.
A number of heavily populated areas have been badly hit. In the town
of Beichuan, 80 per cent of buildings are reported to have collapsed,
including several schools, burying children and teachers under piles of
rubble. The nearby town of Mianzhu, which has a population of 60,000,
was also seriously affected.
