The official death toll from Monday’s earthquake in China has risen to 15,000, with many more feared dead. The number is expected to rise as rescue workers battle rain and landslides to reach victims across the Sichuan province. Tens of thousands of people remain missing. In the town of Yingxiu, Chinese officials say only 2,300 people have been found out of a population of 10,000. The massive earthquake flattened schools, shops and homes across the region. Scores of survivors are trapped beneath the rubble of collapsed buildings and roads in China’s worst earthquake in three decades.
