Tremor Rocks South West China
6:54am UK, Sunday August 31, 2008

An earthquake measuring a possible magnitude of 6.1 has struck China's south west Sichuan province, according to state media.

There are conflicting reports on the size of the tremor, with the US Geological Survey putting the scale of the quake at 5.7. Xinhua News Agency says it was centred between 20 and 30 miles from Panzhihua city, near the border with Yunnan province, and was six miles deep. Many houses are believed to have collapsed and there are reports that 22 people have died and hundreds injured.

Sichuan province is still trying to recover from the massive 7.9-magnitude quake that struck in May, killing nearly 70,000 people and leaving up to 10 million homeless. Tens of thousands of people died while trapped for days in collapsed buildings, with no way for other survivors to get them out by hand.

In one school alone, around 1,000 pupils and teachers went missing. And heavy rain made rescue operations even more difficult. A large number of people were forced to evacuate their towns and villages after huge "quake lakes" formed following heavy rains and landslides.
The death toll in May was the highest for a quake in China since 1976, when 242,000 people perished when the northern city of Tangshan was flattened.
