More than 2,800 people, including police, fire fighters, medical workers and local government staff, along with 110 emergency vehicles, 20 life detectors and eight drones have been involved in rescue efforts following Monday鈥檚 disaster in Nayong County, officials said.
After searching an area of 150,000 square meters and clearing more than 200,000 cubic meters of debris, no signs of life have been detected.
The Ministry of Finance and Ministry of Civil Affairs have allocated a fund of 16 million yuan (US$2.4 million) for the landslide-hit county. A total of 289 residents from 80 households have been evacuated.
The landslide was in Zhangjiawan, where more than 600,000 cubic meters of rock and mud swamped the village.
The province has seen continuous rainstorms over the past week as a result of two typhoons.
