China has upgraded the national earthquake emergency response to Level II after a magnitude-6.2 earthquake jolted northwest China late Monday evening.
The quake jolted Jishishan County in northwest China's Gansu Province, five kilometers from the border between Gansu and Qinghai provinces. So far, it has reportedly killed 100 people in Gansu and 11 in neighboring Qinghai.
The earthquake relief headquarters of China's State Council and the Ministry of Emergency Management have dispatched a work team to the earthquake-stricken areas.
The Gansu and Qinghai provinces have organized relief support, including the immediate allocation of relief supplies such as camps and folding beds to the affected areas.
