CHENGDU, May 13 (Xinhua) -- The death toll from Monday's earthquake in southwest China's Sichuan Province has climbed to nearly 10,000, according to the headquarters for disaster relief.
The figure climbed from more than 8,500 provided earlier Monday night by local authorities.


Government in Shifang City of Deyang City, where a major chemical leak happened after the quake, said about 600 people died, including 81 students. As many as 2,300 people are still buried, in which 920 are students.


Holy wow.

Burma, & now this (recently). Its a crying shame, my heart goes out to all that are suffering.

 

[Escaep]

It shocks me as to the magnitude of the number of people that die in other countries during natural disasters. Imagine what it would be like if 100,000 people died during Katrina.

It is a shame that this stuff happens.
