China Earthquake Toll Nears 800
-------------------------------



In China, the death toll from this week’s earthquake in western Qinghai
province is now close to 800 and expected to rise. Frigid temperatures
and limited transportation are hampering efforts to find survivors
trapped beneath the rubble. The earthquake left over 11,000 people
wounded and some 100,000 homeless.
