A seven-year-old boy died in hospital after rescuers dug him out from rocks and mud following a landslide in Xuancheng City in east China's Anhui Province, local fire police said today.
The landslide occurred at 1:47 pm yesterday in Xiwu Village of Guangde County. Two senior citizens who were also buried are receiving hospital treatment, according to Xuancheng City Fire Police sources.
