Authorities work through the night to repair the bridge leading to Yinxiu. The bridge is crucial for getting survivors out and getting supplies and rescuers in to the city. The city itself is completely demolished and will have to be rebuilt again after the recent Sichuan earthquake of 12/05/2008, which measured 8.0 on the Richter scale. As the rescue effort goes on the death toll continues to rise, with five million people left homeless in Sichuan.
