Luke 21:11 There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.
Chinese state media has raised the death toll from Monday’s dual earthquakes to 94.
Hundreds are injured and the death toll is likely to rise as rescuers reach some of the more remote parts of the Gansu province. The majority of the deaths are reported to be residents of Dingxi city within Gansu.
Over 3,000 soldiers, police and rescue workers are covering the region.
A series of mudslides and landslides due to soil stirred up by the quake reportedly has buried more victims. State-run news agency Xinhua said that the mud is made of loess, a yellow sandy silt, and that finding any survivors under the soil is a slim possibility.
The number of collapsed buildings skyrocketed to 9,000.
Over 420 aftershocks have been felt in the region including one that topped 5 on the Richter Scale.
