CHENGDU, May 13 (Xinhua) -- As of 7 p.m. Tuesday, southwestern Sichuan Province has reported 12,012 death in Monday's quake, according to the disaster relief center under the State Council.
Another 9,404 were buried in debris, 7,841 were missing and 26,206 people were injured, according to the headquarters.
Li Chengyun, vice governor of Sichuan, provided a breakdown of the death toll, including 161 in the Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, 7,395 in Mianyang City, 2,648 in Deyang City, 959 in the provincial capital Chengdu and 700 in Guangyuan City. Other casualties were reported in cities including Ya'an, Ziyang and the Garze Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture.
The death toll climbed from an earlier tally provided by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, which put the Sichuan death toll at 11,608. Authorities said the death toll might change every hour, as they heard reports from rescuers who were seizing every minute to pull out bodies from the earthquake rubble.
The earthquake, which centered on the province's Wenchuan County at 2:28 p.m. Monday, has left the province in chaos. More than 3.46 million houses were wracked, Li said.
Li said he was deeply saddened by the super earthquake. He called on both officials and the masses in Sichuan to speed up efforts to fight the disaster and rescue themselves.
Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao, who arrived in Sichuan Monday afternoon to oversee rescue work, ordered the clearance of rocks and mud slides that were blocking roads to the epicenter by midnight on Tuesday.
"People are trapped in debris; we must use every second," he told an emergency meeting at 7:00 a.m. Tuesday.
On Tuesday afternoon, a brigade of about 30 soldiers reached Yingxiu Town of the earthquake epicenter Wenchuan, the disaster relief headquarters in the Chengdu Military Area Command said.
The soldiers reported they saw more than 70 percent of the roads in the town were wracked, and nearly all bridges collapsed. A large number of people were believed to be under the debris.
They said 3,000 people were known to have survived, and the town's total population is 12,000. No information on detailed casualties could be available.
Li Shiming, commander of the Chengdu Military Area Command, said the soldiers had distributed food and water to children and injured people in the town, and more supplies would be airdropped to the area.

CHANGGE, Henan, China, May 14 /Xinhua-PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Zhongpin Inc. (Nasdaq: HOGS), a leading meat and food processing company in the People's Republic of China ("PRC"), announced today no loss of life at its production facility in Sichuan Province, as a result of the Sichuan Earthquake, which severely affected Sichuan Province on May 12, 2008. Zhongpin has a processing facility of 45,000 metric tons annual capacity, accounting for approximately 12.5% of Zhongpin's total capacity of chilled and frozen pork, located in Cangshan County, Sichuan Province, which is approximately 200 kilometers away from the epicenter of the earthquake. A preliminary evaluation has revealed minor damage to its facilities in Cangshan County.
Following the earthquake, water and electricity supplies were interrupted, but resumed since the morning of May 14, 2008. However, considering the risk of aftershocks and the safety of its employees, Zhongpin is unable to determine when operations may resume. In light of the circumstances, Zhongpin is considering possibly relocating its Cangshan production to other facilities in central China that were not affected by the earthquake.
"We feel deeply sorry about the loss of life and severe damage to the community of Sichuan Province. We are ready to provide aid to the local victims of the earthquake and to assist in reconstruction efforts," commented by Mr. Xianfu Zhu, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Zhongpin. "During the period that production is suspended, we will continue to pay full salary and social benefits to our employees. We will continue monitoring and evaluating the rapidly changing circumstances and provide any updates on such changes accordingly."

The 2008 Sichuan earthquake (Chinese: 四川大地震; pinyin: Sìchuān dà dìzhèn), at a magnitude 7.9 Mw, occurred at 14:28:01.42 CST (06:28:01.42 UTC) on 12 May 2008 in Sichuan province of China. In China, it was named the Wenchuan earthquake (Chinese: 汶川大地震; pinyin: Wènchuān dà dìzhèn), after the earthquake's epicenter in Wenchuan County in Sichuan province. The epicenter was 90 kilometres (56 mi) west-northwest of Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan, with a depth of 19 kilometres (12 mi).[2] The earthquake was felt as far away as Beijing (1,500km away) and Shanghai (1,700km away), where office buildings swayed with the tremor.[3] The earthquake was also felt in nearby countries.
Official figures (as of 15 May) provided by the Sichuan provincial government state that 19,509 are confirmed dead.[1] The Chinese government said that the death toll could reach 50,000. [4] Tens of thousands are missing, many of them buried, and eight provinces were affected.[5][6] It was the deadliest and strongest earthquake to hit China since the 1976 Tangshan earthquake, which killed over 250,000 people
Earthquake details
USGS map of epicenterThe earthquake had a magnitude of 7.8 Ms according to the State Seismological Bureau of China and 7.9 Mw according to the United States Geological Survey. The epicenter was in Wenchuan County (Chinese: 汶川县; Pinyin: Wènchuān Xiàn), Ngawa Prefecture, 90 km northwest of Chengdu, with its main tremor so far occurring at 14:28:01.42 CST (06:28:01.42 UTC), on Monday 12 May 2008.
Early reports of the earthquake's magnitude ranged from 7.5 to 8.0. Fifty-two major aftershocks, ranging in magnitude from 4.4 to 6.0, were recorded within 72 hours of the main tremor.[8] Preliminary rupture models of the earthquake indicated displacement of up to 9 meters along a fault approximately 240 km long by 20 km deep.[9] The earthquake generated deformations of the surface greater than 3 meters[10] and increased the stress (and probability of occurrence of future events) at the northeastern and southwestern ends of the fault.[11]
Office workers in Chengdu reported a "continuous shaking for about two or three minutes", and many people rushed outside
Immediate aftermath
USGS shake mapOffice buildings in Shanghai's financial district, including the Jin Mao Building and the Hong Kong New World Tower, were evacuated.[25] Phone calls to emergency response numbers in Chengdu were repeatedly busy.[26] A receptionist at the Tibet Hotel in Chengdu said things were "calm" after the hotel had evacuated its guests.[27] Meanwhile, workers at a Ford plant in Sichuan were evacuated for about 10 minutes.[28] The Chengdu airport shut down, and the control tower and regional radar control evacuated. One SilkAir flight was diverted and landed in nearby Kunming as a result.[29] Cathay Pacific delayed both legs of its daily Hong Kong to London route due to this disruption in air traffic services. Chengdu airport has since reopened on Monday at 8 p.m. (1200 GMT) to limited flights as the airport is used as a staging area for relief operations.[30]
Reporters in Chengdu said they saw cracks on walls of some residential buildings in the downtown areas, but no building collapsed.[31] Many Beijing office towers were evacuated, including the building housing the media offices for the organizers of the 2008 Summer Olympics. None of the Olympic venues were damaged.[21] Meanwhile, a cargo train carrying 13 petrol tanks derailed in Bernama, Gansu Province and caught on fire after the rail was distorted.[32]
All of the highways into Wenchuan were damaged, resulting in delayed arrival of the rescue troops.[33][34] Over 2,300 base stations of China Mobile in Sichuan and nearby areas went offline, while the China Unicom network in Wenchuan broke down entirely.[35][36] In Beichuan county, 80% of the buildings collapsed according to Xinhua News.[37] In the city of Shifang, the collapse of two chemical plants led to leakage of some 80 tons of liquid ammonia, with hundreds of people reported buried.[38] In the city of Dujiangyan, south-east of the epicentre, a whole school collapsed with 900 students buried and 50 dead. The Juyuan middle school, where many teenagers were buried, is being excavated by civilians and cranes.[39] Dujiangyan is home of the Dujiangyan Irrigation System, which is an ancient water diversion project which is still in use and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The project's famous Fish Mouth was cracked but not severely damaged otherwise.
