About a hundred people whose residences in Tianjin, northern China, were damaged in massive blasts gathered Aug. 17 for a protest to demand compensation from the government as the death toll from the disaster rose to 114, with 70 still missing.

"We victims demand: Government, buy back our houses," said a banner carried by the residents at a protest outside the Tianjin hotel where officials have held daily news conferences about the disaster. "Kids are asking: How can we grow up healthy?" read another banner. (AP)
