The powerful earthquake that struck China’s southwestern Sichuan province on Saturday has killed 179 people and injured roughly six-thousand-900 people as of Sunday.

China’s Xinhua News Agency said the seven-point-zero-magnitude earthquake also shook down at least 10,000 houses and forced one-point-five million people out of their homes.

Residents who were living in Lushan County, where the earthquake caused the most damage, were still being moved to nearby hospitals a day after the earthquake.

Due to the severe shortage of supplies and beds at local hotels, intensive-care patients have been quickly moved to bigger cities in the vicinity.

The China Earthquake Administration said there were roughly 840 aftershocks in the region after the devastating quake hit, with 57 of them being over three-point-zero-magnitude.

China’s western inland regions have seen roughly ten earthquakes over seven-point-zero-magnitude over the past century, including Saturday’s.
