Bodies retrieved as quake toll tops 12,000

JIANGYOU, China (CNN) -- The death toll from Monday's 7.9-magnitude earthquake in central China exceeded 12,000 Tuesday, as rescue workers frantically tried to pull victims from the rubble and clear roads so relief can be delivered.

Hundreds of soldiers working at the quake's epicenter at Wenchuan pulled more than 1,000 people from under debris, according to the disaster relief headquarters of the Chengdu Military Area Command.

The number of deaths among the 1,000 was not released, but the soldiers said 3,000 people of the town's population of 12,000 survived the quake.

On the way to Wenchuan, a reporter for China's official Xinhua news agency said he encountered five men who escaped the disaster. Tan Bin, 56, a resident in the Shuimo Township of Wenchuan, said they had walked more than 30 miles (50 kilometers) from Wenchuan.

"When the quake happened, we couldn't stand straight, and we held each other's hands and ran out of our factory," he said.

A senior official with the Sichuan provincial government said Tuesday the death toll was still rising, Xinhua reported.

Li Chengyun, vice governor of Sichuan, said at a news conference Tuesday afternoon the death toll was based on incomplete figures tallied by 4 p.m.

He said another 26,206 people were injured and as many as 3.5 million homes were destroyed.

More than 25,000 people were trapped under rubble, most of them -- 18,645 -- in Mianyang City, about 30 miles northeast of the epicenter, according to Xinhua.

A string of nearly 30 seismic jolts hit the province in the first 24 hours following Monday's quake and slowed the progress of rescue teams. All of those quakes were magnitude 4.0 and above.

A Chinese Civil Affairs Ministry official said his country welcomed foreign donations of money and materials, but it was not ready for outside teams of rescue and relief workers because its transportation system could not handle the additional traffic.

The Chinese government on Tuesday accepted an American offer of $500,000 in relief aid, according to an official with the U.S. Agency for International Development. However, China has not asked for other disaster assistance.

Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao ordered military forces to clear roads as much as possible by midnight so rescue workers and soldiers could move more quickly to reach victims. Soldiers were ordered to air-drop supplies such as food and medicines.

CNN's John Vause saw block after block of devastation in the town of Jiangyou, about 60 miles (100 kilometers) from the epicenter, arriving there about a day after the quake hit.

"These people who live in the city are now hunkering down under tarpaulins and under tents," Vause said, as a steady drizzle added to the misery. "Many are afraid to go back indoors because their buildings are no longer safe."

Communication with survivors near the epicenter has been difficult because of broken telecommunication lines and poor weather. An official using a satellite phone did give an initial report that about a third of all buildings had collapsed and another third were seriously damaged, Xinhua said.

In Guixi Township -- 22 miles (35 kilometers) from the epicenter -- thousands of residents huddled under makeshift tents and tarps, their only shelter from a steady rain Tuesday.

Row after row of houses collapsed during the earthquake, leaving people with no place to go and many injured and hungry people wandered the streets. The roads to the town were open, but still no relief workers were around.

An expert told CNN the earthquake, which struck at 2:28 p.m. Monday, was the largest the region has seen "for over a generation."

Also in the area, all 86 animals at the Wolong Giant Panda Protection and Research Center were safe, Xinhua reported. The center is one of the biggest panda refuges in the world.

Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport reopened Tuesday after authorities inspected its runways for damage following the quake, Xinhua reported. The resumption of air service gives the province additional links for funneling supplies into the badly battered region..

Monday's quake shook the ground in Beijing, 950 miles (1,500 kilometers) away. Residents of the capital, which hosts this year's Olympic Games in August, said they felt a rolling sensation that lasted about a minute. It resulted in the evacuation of thousands of people from Beijing buildings.

A spokesman for the Beijing Olympic Committee said no Olympic venues were affected.
