Over 700 people confirmed dead in China

More than 700 people are now confirmed dead in a massive landslide in north-west China making it one of the country's worst flooding in a decade.



Meanwhile, a frantic search is continuing for the more than 1,000 people who are still missing.



Chinese premier Wen Jiabao has urged rescuers to keep looking until they find every last survivor.



The death toll was revised upwards on Tuesday from 337, and officials say the current figure of more than 700 is also expected to rise.



The landslides in the remote Zhouqu county, Gansu, were triggered by torrential rains that hit the area late Saturday.



More than 7,000 soldiers, firefighters and medical staff are now at the scene of the landslide.
