YUSHU,Qinghai - About 300 people have been killed with 8,000 injured and more others buried under the toppled houses after a 7.1-magnitude earthquake hit northwest China's Qinghai Province early on Wednesday,officials said.
Many others are still buried under the debris of collapsed houses near the epicenter,said Huang Limin,deputy secretary-general of the government of the Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of Yushu.
About 700 soldiers are now struggling to clear away the rubble and rescue the buried people,a spokesman with the Qinghai Provincial Emergency Office said.
More than 5,000 additional rescuers,including soldiers and medical workers have been dispatched to the quake-hit region,according to a news conference held by the Qinghai provincial government.
"Our first task is to save students.Schools are always places that have many people," said Kang Zifu,an army officer in the rescue operation in Yushu.CASUALTIES,DAMAGES AND LOSSES
More than 85 percent of the houses in the Jiegu Township near the epicenter had collapsed,said Zhuohuaxia,a publicity official with the Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of Yushu.
"The streets in Jiegu are thronged with panic,injured people,with many bleeding in the head," he said.
"Many students are buried under the debris due to building collapse at a vocational school," he said.
"A large crack appears in the wall of the Yushu Hotel,and part of a government office building also collapsed," he said.
"I can see injured people everywhere.The biggest problem now is that we lack tents,we lack medical equipment,medicine and medical workers," he said.
The epicenter is at the Rima Village in the Shanglaxiu Township,about 50 km west of Jiegu,the government seat of the Yushu prefecture,and about 800 km away from Xining,the Qinghai provincial capital.
"The epicenter is a pasturing area and sparsely-populated.I think the quake would not cause casualties as heavy as those in Jiegu," Zhuohuaxia said.
Jiegu has a population of about 100,000,including permanent residents and migrant people,he added.
"Buildings in our school were all toppled,and five pupils have died," said a teacher surnamed Chang at the Yushu Primary School,a boarding school with about 1,000 students.
"Morning sessions did not begin when the quake happened.Some pupils ran out of dorms alive,and those who had not escaped in time were buried," Chang said.
"The houses here are almost all made of wood and earthen walls,which will easily collapse when a quake happens," said Karsum Nyima,deputy director of the News Department of the Yushu TV Station.
Although Yushu is a sparsely-populated region,experts said the quake is very likely to cause "heavy" casualties.

Many people are still buried under the debris of collapsed houses in the Gyegu Town near the epicenter in the Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of Yushu in southern Qinghai, said Huang Limin, deputy secretary-general of the prefecture government.
The strong quake and a string of aftershocks, with the biggest one being 6.3 magnitude, have toppled houses, temples, gas stations and electric poles, triggered landslides, damaged roads, cut power supplies and disrupted telecommunications. A reservoir was also cracked, where workers are trying to prevent the outflow of water.
Gyegu, also known as Jiegu, is the seat of the Yushu prefecture government. The town has a population of about 100,000, including permanent residents and migrant people.
About 700 soldiers are now struggling to clear away the rubble and rescue the buried people, a spokesman with the Qinghai Provincial Emergency Office said.
More than 5,000 additional rescuers, including soldiers and medical workers, have been dispatched to the quake-hit region, according to a news conference held by the Qinghai provincial government.
Authorities in the neighboring provinces of Gansu and Sichuan and Tibet Autonomous Region have also dispatched rescuers to Yushu.
"Our top priority is to save students. Schools are always places that have many people," said Kang Zifu, an army officer in the rescue operation in Gyegu.
The quake also killed five people and injured one another in the Shiqu County, which neighbors Yushu, in the Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of Garze in Sichuan Province, local authorities said.
Lying on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Yushu has an altitude of above 4,000 meters.
The Qinghai Provincial Observatory forecast Wednesday that Yushu would see strong winds and sleet in the coming days, which would hamper rescue efforts.

BEIJING – A series of strong earthquakes struck a far western Tibetan area of China on Wednesday, killing at least 400 people and injuring more than 10,000 as houses made of mud and wood collapsed, trapping many more, officials said.
The largest quake was recorded by the U.S. Geological Survey as magnitude 6.9. In the aftermath, panicked people, many bleeding from their wounds, flooded the streets of a Qinghai province township where most of the homes had been flattened.
Paramilitary police used shovels to dig through the rubble in the town, footage on state television showed. Officials said excavators were not available and with most of the roads leading to the nearest airport damaged, equipment and rescuers would have a hard time reaching the area.
Downed phone lines, strong winds and frequent aftershocks also hindered rescue efforts, said Wu Yong, a local military chief.
Workers were racing to release water from a reservoir in the disaster area where a crack had formed after the quake to prevent a flood, according to the China Earthquake Administration.
The Wednesday morning quake was centered on Yushu county, in the southern part of Qinghai, near Tibet, with a population of about 100,000, mostly herders and farmers.
The USGS recorded six temblors in less than three hours, all but one registered 5.0 or higher. The China Earthquake Networks Center measured the largest quake's magnitude at 7.1.
The main quake sent residents fleeing as it toppled houses made of mud and wood, said Karsum Nyima, the Yushu county television station's deputy head of news, speaking by phone with broadcaster CCTV.
"In a flash, the houses went down. It was a terrible earthquake," he said. "In a small park, there is a Buddhist pagoda and the top of the pagoda fell off. ... Everybody is out on the streets, standing in front of their houses, trying to find their family members."
The death toll rose to about 400 by afternoon, according to CCTV. Emergency official Pubucairen, who goes by only one name, was quoted as saying that the number of injured has risen to more than 10,000.
The earthquake comes a little less than two years after a magnitude-7.9 quake in neighboring Sichuan province left almost 90,000 people dead or missing.
That quake flattened several schools, killing thousands of students. Poor design, shoddy construction and the lax enforcement of building codes were found to be rampant.
In Jiegu, a township 20 miles (30 kilometers) from the epicenter that appeared to be one of the worst hit, the local fire brigade was trying to rescue 20 students stuck inside a school, Kang Zifu, head of the rescue team, told state television. They were also working to pull out 40 to 50 people trapped in a toppled four-story building, according to CCTV. It did not say what type of school it was.
More than 85 percent of houses had collapsed in Jiegu, while large cracks have appeared on buildings still standing, the official Xinhua News Agency cited Zhuohuaxia, a local publicity official, as saying.
"The streets in Jiegu are thronged with panic and full of injured people, with many of them bleeding from their injuries," said Zhuohuaxia, who goes by one name.
The provincial emergency office told Xinhua that 700 soldiers were trying to clear the rubble and rescue buried people and that 1,000 more troops would be dispatched.
A local military official, Shi Huajie, told CCTV rescuers were working with limited equipment.
"The difficulty we face is that we don't have any excavators. Many of the people have been buried and our soldiers are trying to pull them out with human labor," Shi said. "It is very difficult to save people with our bare hands."
Five thousand tents and 100,000 thick, cotton coats and heavy blankets were being sent to help survivors cope with strong winds and temperatures of around 43 degrees Fahrenheit (6 degrees Celsius), the Qinghai provincial government said in a statement.
The epicenter of the first quake was 235 miles (380 kilometers) south-southeast of Golmud, a large city in Qinghai, at a depth of six miles (10 kilometers), the USGS said.
Xinhua cited officials at the China Earthquake Networks Center as saying at least 18 aftershocks have been reported and that more temblors exceeding magnitude 6 were likely to occur in the coming days
