Impact of the Earthquake in Tibet

A significant earthquake with a magnitude of 7.1 struck near Mount Everest in Tibet, resulting in the tragic loss of over 100 lives. The epicenter of the quake was in Shigatse, an area known for its high altitude and cultural importance in Tibetan Buddhism. Emergency response efforts have faced challenges due to the region's rugged terrain and harsh winter conditions, including freezing temperatures. As rescuers comb through the debris, they are trying to locate survivors amid the infrastructure devastation, which has left many roads impassable.
