Today, the Chinese military and rescue workers continue to sift through rubble in a desperate bid to rescue any survivors, 8 days after an 8.0 magnitude earthquake hit Sichuan province. The death toll could mount to 50,000, and while rescue efforts are ongoing, the survivors will sleep tonight in the streets fearing aftershocks. A secondary tremor hit the province again yesterday, the 19th of May killing 3 more people. For more information please visit
