More than 45,000 people in earthquake-hit Tibet were moved to shelters as authorities widened search operations to find survivors buried under rubble in the high-altitude environment following a powerful earthquake.
At least 126 people were killed and more than 188 others sustained injuries after a 7.1 magnitude earthquake struck Tingri, a rural region with a population of about 60,000 people around 80km north of Mount Everest on Tuesday.
