China's state news agency says nearly 15,000 people have died in the earthquake that hit the country's south-western Sichuan province two days ago. Over a thousand people are thought to be missing with tens of thousands still buried in rubble.

Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao has been in the provincial capital of Chengdu, since Monday to offer his support.
