CHRISTCHURCH, (Reuters) – Rescuers toiled for a fourth day among the ruins of New Zealand’s quake-ravaged city of Christchurch yesterday, as hopes of finding more survivors faded and the death toll reached 113 with more than 200 missing.
Teams from quake-prone countries such as Japan, Taiwan and the United States helped in the search, using sniffer dogs and lowering microphones into collapsed buildings to probe for signs of life, two days after a 6.3 magnitude tremor struck the country’s second biggest city.
