💨 Abstract

A 6.8-magnitude earthquake struck near Tibet's holiest city, Shigatse, on January 7, killing at least 126 people and injuring 188 others. The quake, which was also felt in neighboring Nepal, forced people to evacuate their homes. China's President Xi Jinping ordered all-out rescue efforts, and China Earthquake Administration launched a level-II emergency service response.
