Little hope for survivors of China floods

None

Hopes were fading of finding more survivors from flooding and landslides in northwestern China, as teams worked Wednesday to stave off disease outbreaks, three days after the disaster that killed at least 702 people.

 

More than 1,000 people were listed as missing, but with suffocating mud, stones and debris covering many houses, the chances of finding anyone alive were considered slight. (AP)
