We join Pope Francis in prayers and solidarity with the victims of the recent earthquakes in Gansu and Qinghai provinces, China. The earthquakes, with magnitudes of 6.4 and 6.9 respectively, have left around 127 dead victims, communities in distress, and widespread damage to infrastructure. Authorities have mobilized emergency responses, but the damages on roads make it difficult to reach the affected areas. The sub-zero temperature that the country is experiencing is challenging the rescue work. The epicenter is in an area with a high level of poverty in China.
