China has sent thousands of rescue workers to help search for survivors of deadly landslides that swept through a county in the northwest of the country.



More than 4,500 soldiers, fire-fighters and medical staff have been sent to Zhouqu in the Gansu province, as well as helicopters and aircraft.



Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao has visited the county, where 127 people are known to have died.



Almost 1,300 other people are missing in the wake of Saturday's landslides caused by torrential rains.
