Dozens of people are confirmed to have died, and hundreds and injured, after a devastating earthquake hammered China’s Tibet region

According to the Daily Mail, the earthquake in question was categorized as a 7.1-magnitude quake by the US Geological Survey. Regardless of categorizing, the quake demolished “many structures.” Moreover, as of just this morning, 95 individuals have been confirmed to have died in the tragedy.

Videos have been shared of rescuers working quickly to pull survivors out of the rubble. Notably, temperatures sat at eight degrees below freezing. The situation for survivors who are needing to be rescued is obviously dire, and the weather conditions are in no way helping.

The earthquake struck around 9:05 AM locally, in Tibet’s Dingri County. The area is particularly mountainous and sits on China’s side of the famed Mount Everest. The county itself is home to 62,000 residents. As rescue efforts continue, there is fear that the death toll associated with the earthquake will rise sharply in the coming hours.

Making the situation ever more daunting are the villages and standalone homes situated along the Himalayas. Those structures are not only difficult to reach, but also situated closer to the earthquake’s epicenter. There is fear that those villages and homes could be entirely destroyed.
