According to Xinhua News Agency, the reporter learned from the "12.18" ** earthquake relief site command in Qinghai Province that as of 16 o'clock on December 20, ** has caused 21 people to be killed, 198 people injured, and 13 people are missing. As of 9 o'clock on the 20th, ** has killed 113 people in Gansu and injured 782 people.
Currently, Jishi Mountain 6Level 2** resulted in a total of 134 deaths.
Qinghai "Shayong" rescue site: more than 600 rescuers searched non-stop.
According to CCTV News, affected by Jishi Mountain 6Level 2** impact, a rare geological disaster occurred in Haidong Citizen and County of Qinghai Province, which caused a "sand surge" to cause sand liquefaction, a large amount of soil poured into two villages, washed away some houses, and the builder ** disappeared. Thirteen people are still missing.
It is worth noting that the number of missing people is gradually decreasing, while the number of victims is rising. It is understood that after two days of intense rescue, rescuers have found the remains of seven victims.
*After the incident, as some people could not get in touch, the rescuers worked closely with the local people, and under the guidance of their families, they roughly determined the location of the missing people through manual search, search and rescue dogs, and life detectors. At present, the rescue forces are mainly concentrated in five points for uninterrupted search and rescue.

According to CCTV reporters, after the appearance of "sand surge", it presents a very viscous soil structure with high water content and compact texture. With many search and rescue sites surrounded by large amounts of silt, personnel had to reluctantly reach the rescue site by erecting planks or laying linoleum to reduce the pressure.
However, large machinery is not accessible at all, as it has been observed that the silt is on average about 2 to 3 meters thick. Therefore, the rescuers adopted a manpower first approach, and the search and dredging rescue were carried out by manpower first. In places where large machinery can't reach, the first task of many large machinery is to remove the silt from the road leading to the rescue point.
Due to the unstable state of the "sand swell", when the sun rises and the temperature rises during the day, it melts and becomes very thin. It is often the case that the "sand swell" around the area is quickly backfilled soon after the excavator is excavated, so the excavation is very difficult. Similarly, when the water content is high at night and the temperature drops below zero, the "sand surge" will freeze, which will also have a certain impact on the excavation.
Since the excavator could not reach the vicinity of some rescue sites in time, it had to rely on manpower to excavate. Fire and rescue personnel adopt a shift system, with a shift every 2 hours, and carry out search and rescue without interruption.
The largest resettlement site in Jishishan County, Gansu Province: from 900 to 1600
In Dahe Village, the largest resettlement site in Jishishan County, Gansu Province, the biggest change is that there are more and more tents and more and more people. From 100 tents on the night of the 19th, there were already 170 tents by the 20th. The number of people affected by the resettlement has increased from more than 900 to 1,600. The increase in the number of personnel has undoubtedly brought considerable challenges to the security work.

The security of electricity and communications has been further upgraded. On the 19th, about a third of the tents were electrified. Now, all the tents are electrified. Through the bright light of the tent, the whole settlement area is filled with warmth. The increase in personnel has put a lot of pressure on communications. In fact, communications throughout the affected area have been restored to pre-earthquake levels. However, in places with a particularly high concentration of people, such as centralized settlements, communication still faces considerable difficulties. A number of operators have added temporary base stations to provide signal enhancement services.
Some details tweaked inside the tent. On the 19th, the whole tent was probably "three cotton and one warm": cotton tent, quilt, cotton mattress and a stove (some have a stove). On the 20th, all the tents were equipped with stoves, and some electric mattresses were distributed one after another. Of course, these facilities are accompanied by an increase in firefighters and an increase in standby, from 30 to 60 people.
Meal changes. Previously, a large number of instant noodles and some stewed dishes brought by PLA officers and soldiers were also provided, and now, there are also dumplings, beef noodles and other delicacies provided by caring people.
A change in everyone's mood. Compared to the 19th, everyone may be more stable and positive.
