Quake deaths estimated over 50,000 in Sichuan alone
The death toll from the country's worst earthquake in three decades is estimated at more than 50,000, the rescue headquarters of the State Council said on Thursday, as rescuers finished rushed repairs on a quake-damaged road from Lixian county to the epicenter at 9 pm.

Rescuers have been struggling to reach all quake-hit areas, battling landslides, buckled roads, collapsed bridges and wet weather.
