Chinese authorities have sent out more than 130,000 soldiers and police, to help search for survivors, after Monday's devastating quake. But as each hour passes, rescue efforts are turning into a grim search for bodies. China is now warning the death toll could top 50,000. There's also a new threat that a nearby dam could burst, engulfing the entire town. Al Jazeera's correspondent Melissa Chan reports.

  • I really commend China's efforts right now, be they political or not. They have responded very well to this awful tragedy. My prayers are with the affected families of China tonight - may you find peace & health in the near future.

  • China alone cannot handle this problem. It is only intelligent for it to appeal to British & American help; before the dams start breaking down. The Chinese govt. though seemingly sincere, has not really been open. The video scenes that came out are only of very affluant locations; what about the other side of China, where people are really poor. Where are they in the current scheme of events?

  • 这个报道比较全面了

  • your mum and dad have been raped by ghosts

  • BUDDHA QUAKE 2008, China (PRC), IN SEARCH OF EPICENTER

  • What a fucking stupid racist idiot.

  • my heart and my feelings go to everyone affected by this terrible earthquake.

  • It is true that the Chinese army had a very responsive leadership, which is in sharp contrast to what happened in India, during Gujarat Earthquake, when the people were left to fend for themselves.Yet, it should be noted that in contrast to WTC disaster in New York, the people here cannot do the same effort; the language possibly being feudal.If the political leadership is really concerned, British & American personnel & technological help should have been appealed for.Imagine being buried alive

  • why don't you admit you are just a ruthless woodhead and has absolutely no clue of what you are talking about?
