Thousands of rescuers fought against time on Friday to dig through rubble and reach survivors of a strong earthquake that had left 760 dead, more than 10,000 injured and 243 still missing in northwest China. The 7.1-magnitude quake, which struck the Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of Yushu in southern Qinghai Province early on Wednesday, also toppled 15,000 residential buildings and forced 100,000 residents to be relocated, according to the rescue headquarters.​
