Jiegu, China (CNN) -- Rescuers prepared to airlift hundreds of injured people Thursday from the earthquake zone to hospitals as the massive rescue effort continued in China.
The death toll for Wednesday's 6.9-magnitude quake rose to 617, state-run CCTV reported. More than 9,000 people had been injured and 313 were missing.
The rescue effort was hampered by unstable bridges and collapsed roadways, making it difficult for heavy equipment to get to hard-hit areas like Jiegu, the town nearest the epicenter.

Ash floating thousands of kilometres from an erupting volcano in Iceland has affected Germany’s airspace, potentially disrupting air travel, authorities announced Thursday.

The European Organisation for the Safety of Air Navigation, or Eurocontrol, announced Thursday the ash cloud was set to enter German airspace after 4pm.

It has warned airlines about the cloud and left them to decide whether or not to cancel flights because of the impact on visibility.
