The earthquake which struck Yunnan Province on August 3rd had a high death number because of its high magnitude, follow-on disasters and the high population of the area.

The death has risen to 615 four days after the powerful earthquake. Among the reported deaths, 526 were in the worst-hit Ludian County and 76 in Qiaojia County. The official count showed that there were 114 missing and 3,143 people injured in the 6.5-magnitude earthquake. And the earthquake caused lots of buildings to fall down, including at least one school.

   CCTV says that the earthquake was the strongest that hit Yunnan in the recent 14 years, and the epicenter was in Longtou- shan town in Yunnan’s Ludian County. It also says the government is sending thousands of tents, folding beds, quilts and coats to the affected area. Attempts to reach the epicenter have been stopped by heavy rain, with some rescuers forced to travel on foot.

Southwestern China is often struck by earthquakes. In 2012 an earthquake in the Yunnan region killed at least 80 people.

  A week later, a memorial service was held on Sunday in Ludian County for the victims of the 6.5-magnitude earthquake that rocked the area. While people gathered in public places for three minutes of silence, drivers sounded their car horns.

  “I am expecting those who lost their loved ones to survive.” said Ke Guoxian, a teacher at the Third Elementary School of Ludian County.

 “I am so touched that so many people rushed to help us.” said Ma Siying, a fourth-grader at the school.
