The number of bodies recovered from a landslide that engulfed workers at a Chinese construction site rose to at least 22 on Monday with 17 people still missing, state media said.
Heavy rain at the weekend buried a temporary shed used by workers at a hydropower station construction site in Fujian province, in the southeast, under 100,000 cubic metres of mud and rocks, the official Xinhua news agency reported.
Major rescue efforts were continuing in Taining county, it said.
The number of victims — which has fluctuated between different media — was revised down after two people previously listed as missing were found alive and safe, Xinhua added.Guardian
