Emergency teams have been pouring into western China's Qinghai province, a
day after a deadly earthquake devastated the mountainous region.
Thousands of homeless and injured people await relief.
Officials say 617 people died and 9,980 were injured when the tremor hit
early on Wednesday - 313 remain missing.

Aftershocks
"Freezing weather, high altitude and thin air have all made rescue efforts
difficult," Hou Shike, deputy head of China International Search and
Rescue, told official news agency Xinhua.
Snaking rescue convoys rumbled in the early hours of Thursday along the
1,000-km (620-mile) highway separating Yushu from the Qinghai provincial
capital, Xining.
As well as the remote location, which sits at an altitude of around
13,000ft (4,000m), more logistical problems were posed by aftershocks.
The quake also knocked out phone and power lines and triggered landslides.
Survivors shivered through Wednesday night in the open as temperatures
fell below freezing.
In the township of Jiegu, 85% of buildings have been destroyed, officials
say.
Several schools collapsed and at least 66 pupils and 10 teachers were
among the dead, Xinhua reported. Emergency workers were seen removing
dust-covered dead infants from rubble.
