A general view of a town square shows search and rescue operations underway in Jiegu, Yushu County on April 16, 2010. Stunned survivors of China's earthquake complained of hunger as the government rushed supplies and personnel into the remote disaster zone high on the Tibetan plateau, following the April 14, 6.9 magnitude earthquake that left 760 dead.

: People put the palms together praying for the victims on April 16, 2010 in Yushu county, Qinghai province of China. 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.
