On Jan. 7, a 6.8 magnitude earthquake hit Dingri, home to the northern base camp of the world's highest peak, Mount Qomolangma. Currently, local authorities and rescue teams are busy erecting makeshift houses, allowing displaced residents to move from tents to more earthquake-resistant housing. As of 6 pm, Jan. 12, about 2,198 makeshift houses had been installed at various relocation sites in Dingri, in an effort to ensure a safe and warm winter for all. As resettlement work is advancing, debris removal and property rescue efforts are also in progress. (Xinhua/Tenzin Nyida)
