In the wake of a devastating magnitude-6.8 earthquake that struck Dingri County in Xigaze City, efforts are tirelessly ongoing to ensure the well-being of approximately 61,500 affected individuals in the Xizang Autonomous Region of the Chinese mainland. The powerful tremor, which hit on Tuesday morning, tragically claimed the lives of at least 126 people and caused extensive damage to 27,248 homes.
Medical experts have mobilized to provide immediate care to all injured patients at a local hospital in Xigaze. In addition to on-site treatment, specialized professionals are conducting online consultations to extend medical support to those in need. This comprehensive approach aims to address both the urgent healthcare needs and the long-term resettlement of earthquake victims.
Community leaders and government officials are collaborating to facilitate the resettlement process, ensuring that displaced families receive the necessary resources and support to rebuild their lives. The resilience and solidarity displayed by the residents of Xizang highlight the region's commitment to overcoming this natural disaster.
