00:00More than 12,000 people have been moved after an earthquake struck Tibet's remote Himalayan mountains.
00:05The response stretches across a sparsely populated area, where local people are helping relief teams.
00:11State media say the magnitude 7.0 quake struck on Thursday night.
00:16China's state broadcaster says it was the region's strongest earthquake in five years.

00:34The quake was centered northeast of a city north of Tibet's capital.
00:38China's president has ordered search teams to find people who are missing.
00:42He also called for prompt medical treatment as relief work continues.
00:46State media say more than 1,600 local people are assisting relief efforts.
