A magnitude-6.2 earthquake struck China's Gansu province, killing at least 127 people and injuring over 700. Many houses, especially those made from earth and clay, collapsed in the worst-hit areas. Rescue efforts have been challenging due to sub-zero temperatures. More than 155,000 homes were damaged or destroyed. The quake also caused landslides and infrastructure damage. Authorities have mobilized emergency responses, including personnel from the military and police. The harsh weather conditions have shortened the time for rescue efforts to save survivors.
