A powerful earthquake in Tibet has led to a rising death toll, now reported at 126, as rescue efforts continue amidst freezing temperatures. Over 3,600 structures have been damaged or destroyed. The quake struck near Shigatse, causing significant disruption to power and water supplies. Experts warn that further casualties are expected due to difficult access to remote areas. Reporting is heavily restricted, with foreign media reliant on state sources. The Dalai Lama expressed his sorrow over the tragedy and extended prayers for victims and the injured.
