In China, it was named after the earthquake's epicenter in Wenchuan County, Sichuan province of the People's Republic of China (Chinese: 汶川大地震; pinyin: Wènchuān dà dìzhèn). The epicenter was 90 kilometres (56 mi) west-northwest of Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan, with a depth of 19 kilometres (12 mi).[2] The earthquake was felt as far away as Beijing and Shanghai, where office buildings swayed with the tremor.[3] The earthquake was also felt in nearby countries. Official figures (as of 14 May) state that 14,866 are confirmed dead and 66,286 injured,[4][1][5] while the state-run Xinhua News Agency reported that 19,565 (including 7,700 in Yingxiu, near the epicenter) are dead and 26,206 injured.[6] The Chinese government said that the death toll could reach 50,000.[7] Tens of thousands are missing, many of them buried, and eight provinces were affected.[8][9]It was the deadliest and strongest earthquake to hit China since the 1976 Tangshan earthquake, which killed approximately 250,000 people.[10]
