Fifty missing in China mudslide
Rescue workers searched today for 50 people missing after a rain-fed mudslide struck in south-western China, while floodwaters in the nation’s east were ebbing under sunny skies.
One person was confirmed dead from yesterday’s mudslide in Sichuan province, said a local official. Fifty people were still missing today, and authorities evacuated 90 villagers who had been stranded by the collapse of mud and rock, he said.
