JIEGU, China — Relatives kept alive a 4-year-old girl and an elderly woman trapped by an earthquake under a collapsed house for almost a week in China by using poles to push water and rice through the rubble until rescuers saved them.
The good news came as the death toll in China’s remote Tibetan region jumped to 2,039, with about 200 still missing and more than 12,100 hurt. But relief efforts could be hindered as snow began falling today on the high-altitude region. Snow and sleet are forecast for the next three days.
