The latest victims of the Dingri earthquake have moved into new homes as questions persist about the scale of the disaster

(TibetanReview.net, October 31'25) – The true scale of deaths and destruction caused by the devastating 6.8 magnitude earthquake that struck Dingri County on Mount Everest in Tibet on January 7 remains unknown due to China's denial of access to information and tight censorship of information. However, figures published by Chinese state media, which reported the completion of housing reconstruction after the quake, provide a measure of the scale of the disaster.

By the end of October, more than 22,000 newly built houses and more than 10,500 repaired and strengthened houses had been fully completed and delivered to residents in quake-affected areas in Dingri County, Shigaze City and surrounding areas, China's official newspaper Chinadaily.com.cn reported on October 31, citing local authorities.

The report continued that the reconstruction efforts covered seven provinces, 47 towns and 486 villages.

She said that more than 6,600 party members and officials are stationed at construction sites to coordinate progress and solve challenges. The reconstruction process reportedly involved 134 companies, more than 2,600 administrative employees, 61,000 construction workers, and about 6,000 pieces of machinery.

The first batch of residents affected by the earthquake were moved to new homes in August.

Regarding the number of people killed in the earthquake, China has stuck to the number 126, which is the final number for the first day of the disaster. This official death toll appears to be based on searches conducted in 27 villages containing 6,900 people within a 20-kilometre (12-mile) radius of the epicenter, which was the focus of Chinese state media at the time.

However, the unofficial death toll reported by independent research ranged from 134 in 17 villages reported by the Voice of America's Tibetan Service on January 13, 2025 to more than 400 reported by the Tibetan Service to rfa.org on January 13, 2025, based on estimates by morgue staff in Dingri and Latsi districts alone.

China reported further searches in wider areas of the quake's epicenter later but did not review the death toll.

China also reported the earthquake's impact on infrastructure such as dams late. China Central Television reported on January 15 that five dams in the epicenter area showed “cracks and other issues,” the Washington-based International Campaign for Tibet noted in a January 24 report.

The group added that the Chinese authorities spoke of emptying three of the affected reservoirs and transporting at least 1,500 people from villages located downstream to mitigate potential risks.
