A powerful earthquake with a magnitude of 6.8 struck Tibet’s remote Tingri county, killing at least 126 people. Rescuers face freezing conditions and collapsed infrastructure while searching for survivors.

126 dead as powerful earthquake hits Tibet, rescue efforts underway

A powerful earthquake with a magnitude of 6.8 struck Tibet&rsquo;s remote Tingri county, killing at least 126 people. Rescuers face freezing conditions and collapsed infrastructure while searching for survivors.

Thousands of rescuers were searching for survivors in freezing conditions Wednesday after a devastating earthquake in Tibet region killed at least 126 people.
Videos published by state broadcaster CCTV on Wednesday showed rescue workers pulling injured victims from the rubble of collapsed buildings and carrying them to safety.
Footage also showed a man in a dusty, thick winter coat carrying a crying child piggyback as a rescue worker draped a jacket over him.
Rescues were also seen setting up makeshift tents and examining the injured inside.
At least 126 people have been confirmed dead and 188 others injured in the Tuesday morning quake that struck rural, high-altitude Tingri county, about 80 kilometres (50 miles) north of Mount Everest near Tibet's border with Nepal.
Local officials said at a press conference on Wednesday afternoon that there had been no increases in the number of people killed or injured since the last update on Tuesday night.
More than 3,600 houses had collapsed due to the earthquake and 187 relocation sites have been set up, accommodating 46,500 people, said Hong Li, director of Tibet's Emergency Management Department.
The affected region is a "high-altitude, cold plateau area with weak infrastructure such as transportation, communication, and electricity", Hong said.
"The climate is cold, with large temperature differences between day and night, and low nighttime temperatures, making it difficult to maintain warmth and protect against the cold," Hong said, adding that search and rescue efforts have transitioned to the resettlement of affected residents and post-disaster reconstruction.
The temperature in Tingri will drop to as low as minus 16 degrees Celsius (3.2 Fahrenheit) Thursday morning, according to the China Meteorological Administration. The county sits at an average altitude of 4,500 metres above sea level.
Authorities earlier said more than 12,000 people, including firefighters, soldiers, police officers and professional rescuers, had been deployed, Xinhua reported.
Aid including tents, quilts and cold-weather equipment had been dispatched by central authorities, it added.
When tourist Meng Lingkang arrived in the town of Lhatse, 65 kilometres from the epicentre, he saw "the buildings had cracked open".
"Some of the older houses collapsed, and a large part of the buildings made from bricks had cracked open, with big fissures," the 23-year-old told AFP.
"There were quite a few (rescue vehicles). One after the other they arrived," he added.
&nbsp;
- 'Profoundly saddened' -
The China Earthquake Networks Center (CENC) measured the quake's magnitude as 6.8, while the US Geological Survey reported it as 7.1.
The area most affected is surrounded by mountainous terrain on the Chinese side of Everest.
Tingri, the epicentre, is home to around 62,000 people and much less developed than urban centres like Tibet's capital Lhasa.
Many of the fallen houses appeared constructed of traditional materials such as stone, mud bricks and wooden beams.
Chinese President Xi Jinping has called for "all-out search and rescue efforts", CCTV said.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said he was "profoundly saddened" by the lives lost in the earthquake.
"The United Nations is closely monitoring the situation and stands ready to provide support if requested," Guterres said in a statement.
French President Emmanuel Macron offered assistance to those affected, while Russian President Vladimir Putin and Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba expressed their condolences.
Tingri is under the administration of the prefecture-level city of Shigatse, home to the traditional seat of the Panchen Lama, one of the most important spiritual figures in Tibetan Buddhism after the Dalai Lama.
The Dalai Lama said he was "deeply saddened".
"I offer my prayers for those who have lost their lives and extend my wishes for a swift recovery to all who have been injured," the exiled spiritual leader said in a statement.
AFP is unable to report from Tibet due to restrictions on foreign media.
Beijing imposes strict control on access to the Himalayan region, which it considers an inalienable part of its territory.
China took control of Tibet in 1951 before the Dalai Lama fled into exile in 1959.
Tibet had previously been largely autonomous, following the fall of the Qing dynasty which lasted three centuries.
&nbsp;
- Most powerful -
In addition to capital Kathmandu, areas around Nepal's Lobuche -- in the high mountains near Everest -- were also rattled by the tremor and aftershocks on Tuesday.
No injuries or deaths have been reported so far in the country or in India, where tremors were felt in Bihar state.
Tuesday's quake was the most powerful recorded within a 200-kilometre radius in the last five years, the CENC said.
A quake in December 2023 in northwest China killed 148 people and displaced thousands in Gansu province.

A devastating 6.8-magnitude earthquake struck Dingri County in Tibet, killing at least 90 people. The quake caused widespread destruction, collapsing buildings and shaking neighboring regions, including Nepal and parts of India.

7.1 Magnitude Earthquake Jolts Kathmandu

A devastating 6.8-magnitude earthquake struck Dingri County in Tibet, killing at least 90 people. The quake caused widespread destruction, collapsing buildings and shaking neighboring regions, including Nepal and parts of India.

A devastating earthquake in China's remote Tibet region killed at least 95 people and collapsed "many buildings" on Tuesday, state media reported, with tremors also felt in neighbouring Nepal's capital Kathmandu and parts of India.
Videos published by China's state broadcaster CCTV showed houses destroyed with walls torn apart.
Rescue workers waded through rubble strewn across the ruins in the aftermath of the earthquake, footage showed, while some gave locals thick blankets to keep warm in subzero temperatures.
Surveillance images published by CCTV showed people running through a store's aisles as shelves shook violently, sending objects like toys tumbling to the ground.
"A total of 95 people have been confirmed dead and 130 others injured as of 3 pm (0700 GMT)," Xinhua news agency said.
More than a thousand houses have been damaged, Xinhua reported earlier.
The powerful quake struck Tingri county with a magnitude of 6.8 near the border with Nepal at 9:05 am, according to the China Earthquake Networks Center (CENC). The US Geological Survey reported the tremor as magnitude 7.1.
Sangji Dangzhi, whose supermarket in Tingri county suffered considerable damage, described the situation as "very serious" with ambulances taking people to hospital throughout the day.
"Here the houses are made from dirt so when the earthquake came... lots of houses collapsed," the 34-year-old, who returned home from Shigatse after the quake struck, told AFP by phone.
&nbsp;
- 'Very strong tremors' -
CCTV reported that Tingri county and its surrounding areas "experienced very strong tremors, and many buildings near the epicentre have collapsed".
In the town of Lhatse, videos geolocated by AFP showed debris scattered in front of streetside eateries.
Chinese President Xi Jinping emphasised "the all-out search and rescue efforts, minimizing casualties to the greatest extent possible, properly resettling affected residents, and ensuring their safety and warmth through the winter", CCTV added.
Xinhua said that "local authorities are reaching out to various townships in the county to assess the impact of the quake".
Temperatures in Tingri are around minus 8 degrees Celsius (17.6 degrees Fahrenheit) and will drop to minus 18 this evening, according to the China Meteorological Administration.
Disaster relief aid, including cotton tents, quilts and items for high-altitude and frigid areas, had been dispatched by central authorities to areas impacted by the quake, Xinhua said.
The high-altitude county in the Tibet region is home to around 62,000 people and situated on the Chinese side of Mount Everest.
Tuesday's quake was the most powerful recorded within a 200-kilometre (124-mile) radius in the last five years, the CENC added.
&nbsp;
- 'Shook quite strongly' -
As well as Kathmandu, areas around Lobuche in Nepal in the high mountains near Everest were also rattled by the tremor and aftershocks.
"It shook quite strongly here, everyone is awake," said government official Jagat Prasad Bhusal in Nepal's Namche region, which lies nearer to Everest.
But no damage or deaths had been reported so far and security forces have been deployed, Nepali home minister spokesman Rishi Ram Tiwari said.
Nepal lies on a major geological faultline where the Indian tectonic plate pushes up into the Eurasian plate, forming the Himalayas, and earthquakes are a regular occurrence.
In 2015, nearly 9,000 people died and more than 22,000 were injured when a 7.8-magnitude quake struck Nepal, destroying more than half a million homes.
Some tremors were felt in Bihar state in India but no injuries were reported.
Three people were killed and dozens injured after a 7.0-magnitude earthquake struck along the mountainous China-Kyrgyzstan border in January last year.
A quake in December 2023 in northwest China killed 148 people and displaced thousands in Gansu province.
That quake was China's deadliest since 2014, when more than 600 people were killed in southwestern Yunnan province.
In the December 2023 earthquake, subzero temperatures made the aid operation launched in response even more challenging, with survivors huddled around outdoor fires to keep warm.

China is reportedly constructing a dam in Tibet on a tributary of the Ganga river.

Satellite images of China 'building dam' which may impact water flow in India, Nepal spark concern

China is reportedly constructing a dam in Tibet on a tributary of the Ganga river.

Satellite imagery has revealed another concerning project being undertaken by China near the border with India, as per reports.
China is reportedly constructing a dam in Tibet on a tributary of the Ganga river. The location of the dam is close to the tri-junction of borders of India, China, and Nepal.
There are concerns that the dam could be used to affect the flow of water in Nepal and India.
Damien Symon, a geospatial intelligence researcher at the Intel Lab, tweeted the images, saying that the construction began in 2021.

Massive protest in Tibet against China's Covid lockdowns

Massive protest in Tibet against China's Covid lockdowns as migrants demand permit to leave 

Some social media users suggested police would have cracked down more harshly on the anti-lockdown march had the protestors been Tibetan rather than Han Chinese.

Hundreds of people in the Tibetan capital Lhasa have taken to the streets to protest harsh Covid measures, video footage showed, a rare demonstration in the tightly controlled region.
Lhasa has been locked down for nearly three months in accordance with China's zero-Covid strategy, which sees millions of residents across the country repeatedly restricted to their homes whenever cases rise.
The measures have prompted rare protests in cities such as Shenzhen and Shanghai and many, including in Lhasa, have complained of food shortages and poor conditions in mass quarantine facilities.
Videos shared on Douyin, the Chinese version of TikTok, showed hundreds of what appeared to be mostly migrant workers of Han Chinese ethnicity marching through the streets of Lhasa on Wednesday, demanding to be allowed to return home.

Those videos and related content were quickly scrubbed from Douyin and the Twitter-like Weibo platform, though some text posts referencing an "incident" in Lhasa remained Thursday.
In one of Wednesday's videos, hundreds of people are seen in a street blocked at one end by police and hazmat-suited health workers, while an official shouts through a megaphone: "Everybody please understand our work, go home and do not crowd this area."
A video shot from another angle showed police vans and officers carrying riot shields stationed nearby.
AFP has geolocated the two videos next to an agricultural market not far from Lhasa's Potala Palace, the traditional residence of the Dalai Lama and the site of a self-immolation protest by a Tibetan pop star earlier this year.
There is already a heavy security presence in Tibet, with access to journalists mostly restricted.
Wednesday's demonstrations are believed to be the largest since 2008, when large-scale protests against Chinese authorities' increased repression towards the majority ethnic Tibetan population were violently subdued.
Some social media users suggested police would have cracked down more harshly on the anti-lockdown march had the protestors been Tibetan rather than Han Chinese.

27 years after he was kidnapped by Chinese officials, the Panchen Lama remains missing. After Dalai Lama, the Panchen Lama is the second most revered figure in the Tibetan Buddhist society. And he's missing since he was 6 years old. The issue has led to a fresh war of words between USA and China.
On April 25, the 33rd birthday of Gedhun Choekyi Nyima, the 11th Panchen Lama, America asked China to reveal his whereabouts and confirm him well-being. Washington asked Beijing to let the Panchen Lama exercises his human rights and fundamental freedoms. The Panchen Lama was abducted by Chinese Communist officials on May 17, 1995.
America's statement led to a sharp reaction from China, which has been trying to stamp out Tibetan nationalism to complete its invasion and occupation of the region. Wang Wenbin, spokesperson of the Chinese foreign ministry said, "We firmly oppose the U.S. side's interference in China's internal affairs under the guise of so-called religious freedom with Tibet-related issues. The Chinese government pursues a policy of freedom of religious belief, which of course includes respecting and protecting the reincarnation of living Buddhas as an institution of inheritance in Tibetan Buddhism."
Wenbin added, "This so-called reincarnated child of Panchen Lama is just an ordinary Chinese citizen who is currently leading a normal life. He and his family do not want their current normal life to be disturbed. The U.S. should fully understand and respect their wills, instead of engaging in political manipulation on the matter to attack and smear China."

China on Friday started its first fully electrified bullet train in the remote Himalayan region of Tibet. It has connected the provincial capital Lhasa and Nyingchi, a strategically located Tibetan border town close to Arunachal Pradesh.
China claims Arunachal Pradesh as part of South Tibet, while India firmly rejects it. The India-China border dispute covers the 3,488-km-long Line of Actual Control (LAC).
In November, Chinese President Xi Jinping had instructed officials to expedite construction of the new railway project, connecting Sichuan Province and Nyingchi in Tibet, saying the new rail line would play a key role in safeguarding the border stability.
The 435.5-km Lhasa-Nyingchi section of the Sichuan-Tibet Railway has been inaugurated ahead of the centenary celebrations of the ruling Communist Party of China on July 1.
