CRI听力:Death Toll in SW China Mudslides Rises to 14

2014-07-22来源:CRI

The death toll from a pair of mudslides in Yunnan has risen to 14.

11 others are still listed as missing.

The provincial government says a mudslide in a village early Monday morning killed 13.

As of midnight last night, seven are still missing.

Zhang Guojun is a local police officer.

"July and August are the rain season in Dehong. Continuous rainfall has loosened the soil, resulting in the mudslide. Until now, all the villagers have been relocated to safe areas. We've been searching from house to house since 8 in the morning."

The surviving villagers have been resettled at the village school.

The 7 injured are being treated at the town's clinic.

Another mudslide in Yuanjiang County has killed one villager.

Rescuers are still searching for the four buried under the debris.
