China Earthquake Leaves 5,000 HomelessBeijing: An earthquake measuring 5.8 on the Richter scale left 5,000 people homeless, killed at least one person and injured 39 others in southwest China on Tuesday, with more accidents expected.
By late Thursday 4,900 people were declared homeless after the quake destroyed their homes in a mountainous area lying on the border between Yunnan and Sichuan provinces. The dawn quake left one dead and 39 injured, destroyed 268 houses and damaged 1,132 other buildings so seriously that they were considered uninhabitable.
Another 2,400 houses suffered less serious damage. The epicenter (震中) was near the scenic Lugu Lake, a tourist site, where the local school was severely damaged.
Preliminary (最初的) estimates put economic losses at 180 million yuan (22 million dollars).
Governments in Yanyuan and the neighboring Yunnan country of Ninglang have joined forces in the rescue efforts and tents, clothes and medicine are badly in need of for the earthquake victims.
The mountainous terrain, heavy rain and several aftershocks all prevented rescue efforts on Thursday. The rain could cause more badly damaged homes to fall down.
More dead and injured are expected“as rescuers have yet to reach marry faraway areas”. It is very hard for rescue workers because most houses are scattered around the mountains, which are inhabited by Yi and other ethnic minority groups (少数民族).
The quake hit the area at 5:10 am Beijing time (2,110 Wednesday GMT). Earthquakes regularly affect the two countries, with two quakes measuring 5. 0 and 6.0 on the Richter scale killing at least three people and injuring more than 1,500 in Ninglang in November 1998.
The area is about 100 kilometers from the historic Yunnan town of Lijiang, which was struck in 1996 by an earthquake that killed more than 250 people and injured 14,000.
